So I guess we can call it Black Thursday now?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Early-bird shoppers headed to stores on Thanksgiving in what's becoming a new holiday tradition.
In the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois, the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store was full roughly 30 minutes before Thanksgiving deals started at 6 p.m., including $199 iPad minis.
In New York City, there were 500 people in line by the time a Target store in the East Harlem neighborhood opened at 6 p.m.
And 200 people rushed in at the Toys R Us in New York City's Times Square when it opened at 5 p.m.
Mary Smalls, 40, was out trying to get all her shopping done on Thanksgiving because she wanted to avoid going out on the day after the holiday that's known as Black Friday.

Not every store was open on Thanksgiving, though. Some, including GameStop, Costco and Ikea, said they wouldn't open because they want their workers to enjoy the holiday.

Apparently nothing can stop American capitalism.
