I work at Kmart. We received two of the white Wii-Us. Had three people lined up outside before we opened. Turns out, none of them even wanted the white one.
Getting an electric drumkit since I live in a trailer and have to keep my real kit where my band practices.
Since this is my first Christmas having a job, I'm trying to buy decent stuff for my parents this year. For my mom I wanna get the Complete Series of Friends DVD set, since it was her favorite show when I was a kid but missed the last few seasons. No idea what to get my dad. Brother will be satisfied with MSP so he can buy his CoD Map Packs.
When I was 13 (2004ish), I snuck my mom's purse into the bathroom, took out her credit card and wrote the numbers on a piece of paper. Then I used it to activate my two month free trial of Live on the original Xbox. Never got a game to work on it, though. Eventually forgot to cancel it and got an angry phone call and punishment when my mom received her bill. None of that would have happened had Microsoft done the Membership cards in stores back then like they do now, so I blame them. But I digress.
First game on Xbox Live was probably Madden 07 on Christmas Day, 2006. Game that got me addicted was Call of Duty 3.
I feel like no one should be obligated to work a holiday like Thanksgiving. It's fine if they're open and staffed by people who are willing, but it'd be pretty messed up to force people to work it, especially since it's followed up by Black Friday and people are probably having their Thanksgivings cut short to report for work really early the next day anyway.
You know for black friday most stores will have the bulk, if not all workers on the same shift. Meaning there will be some people who won't get sleep from thanksgiving to black friday. Dick move Target.
Kmart is doing the same thing. Opening from 8 PM Thanksgiving til 3 AM then closing until 5 AM Black Friday. I guess I "lucked out" by getting the 6 AM Turkey day and 5 AM Black Friday shifts so I can at least sleep.
