You Will High Five Your Monitor When You See This Heartwarming Black Friday Tip.

I’m ‘WAY behind schedule (my apologies!). Just got home, just got Internet, and wow, what a morning!

It really started yesterday at 5:45pm. My eldest was positive Target opened at 6pm alerted my husband to the rather superb deal they’re offering ($179 for the iPhone 5C (if that’s the latest) plus a $30 gift card), and we decided to make a family outing there.

6pm arrived…nobody was let it. I checked the website and discovered it was BestBuy that opened early…Target was scheduled for 8pm! So, we left the girls to stay in line and returned home to warm fuzzy moosies.

Returned at 8pm – at 8:15pm, my kids were told the iPhones go on sale at 12am!

Cue the violins. Back home we all went, and I told the kids that in the morning, we’d venture out once again.

Got up at my usual afternoon time of 4am or so. No Internet! Wah! Did my first Black Friday run, came back, kids were up … so I took them to Target to begin the adventures!

Long story short – our order ended up taking 45 minutes or so because the wrong phones on my account were upgraded. I chatted up the nice lady and found she had been working there since 7:30pm last night (and still had an utterly fantastic attitude).

End result? By that time, the husband also showed up (family time, whee!). 3 new iphones in our family and on the way out….

I found out our clerk liked Starbucks coffee with milk and sugar.

The husband took our eldest to the nearest SB, got the coffee, and returned back to Target to give it to her. It truly made her day!

Honorable Daughter 1 reported she came close to crying.   Such a simple, heartwarming thing to do…. but the gift it gave was powerful beyond measure.

So…the thing to take out of this!

IF you’re shopping Black Friday, bring something good to the sales folk who help you. Idjut customers are truly a thankless burden…and showing appreciation is always a good thing indeed.

Woot!

Grow strong,
