Title: Ugh. Black Friday @&#! Rant
Post by: BPA on November 27, 2014, 06:44:36 AM
My sister gave my son some EB Games gift cards for his birthday and I thought we'd use them to get him a new video game during Black Friday sales online.

Site has crashed 3x. 

I've wasted half an hour trying to get it to work.  Is saving $15 really worth the bullshit?  Maybe.  But I'd just prefer that I didn't have to spend the money at EB Games.  Stupid gift cards!!!!!

Thus is the life of the consumer sukka.

When it comes to these types of sales, there has to be a point when you ask your self "at what hourly rate do I value my time?" 

If I spend way too much time trying to save $15, it's time to walk away.

I'm even more stubborn than I'm cheap.  I managed to get him the game on the fifth try.

On the bright side, at least we can all get a laugh out of the inevitable videos of people tackling each other over waffle irons.

I know.  Totally psychotic.  I'm laughing over your choice of waffle irons.
