Here's a crazy idea: let's construct a Black Friday sale in such a
way as shoppers aren't hospitalized in a mad dash for deals. That's what
one Target store in Indiana is doing, where the plan is to only let 30
people in the store at a time on the sale day after Thanksgiving.
"I work for a Target store in Indiana. A couple weeks ago, I was
informed we will be opening at 4AM on Black Friday," writes our inside
tipster. "Furthermore, we will be letting 30 people in at a time, so as
to avoid a horrible mad rush."
I like it. Maybe the store won't get that pent-up fury as people
compete for so-so deals like monkeys at a banana tree, but they'll
probably also avoid the risk of a costly lawsuit. Plus, if your
customers are stretched out in the hospital recovering from contusions,
they're not shopping.
