Last week we discussed having a plan for Black Friday. If you have never gone shopping on this day you are in for a shock. There will be hundreds if not thousands of people after the same items as you are. People can become angry and things can get out of hand very quickly. Here are some tips to keep you safe while shopping on Black Friday.
People can get angry and rude very quick. If they see you picking up the last of an item they may become angry and rude towards you. Don't get into a confrontation with them. You don't know these people or know what they could be capable of doing. People have been hurt shopping on Black Friday. People have gotten involved in physical confrontations over toys. It's best to just get away from the situation. Find a store employee if someone won't leave you alone.
Don't bring much cash on Black Friday. Crooks will be out looking for people to steal from. Don't leave your purse in a shopping cart while you turn to get something. Chances are it will be gone when you turn back around. Keep a hand on your purse at all times. Better yet get a fanny pack to wear. Also, cash can get lost. You can drop it while digging in your purse or pocket for your keys. Use your bank card whenever possible.
Use common sense when shopping this Friday. There is no item however great the deal worth you getting hurt or worse. Don't go stampeding into the store when the door is opened. People can get trampled on. You want to get the deals, but do so safely, and remember you could always stay home and shop online.
