148. the mega stores hurt us little guys anyway with the Black Friday stuff

I had a small doll and craft store for about a year until the overhead started to eat me alive. But the two times I did open for Black Friday I found it to be a total waste of time, all people wanted to buy was deep discounted stuff and frankly, my margin for profit is pretty small anyway so I don't deep discount. Us little guys just can't afford to do it. My feeling is that if they want to buy for Christmas, they will buy anyway, especially if it is a high quality product like my dolls. I make it a point to stay home on BF and be with my family. It just isn't worth the craziness. (Or my life!)
