USA- Every year it seems like Black Friday is becoming a bigger and bigger deal. Family dinners are being cut short to secure a place in line. Giving thanks has taken a backseat to getting deals. As a result of this families are celebrating Thanksgiving in the parking lots of America’s store, Walmart.
Walmart has always been accommodating to truckers and RV enthusiasts who wished to park overnight in their lots. Now they have set up Thanksgiving buffets and raffles to gather as many shoppers as possible to their stores. Free food is being offered and reports coming out from corporate offices is that they expect upwards of 1 million people will be celebrating Thanksgiving in a Walmart parking lot this year.
“Walmart may be starting an interesting trend here”, says Dr. Bretwald. “Holidays are more about commerce than togetherness and this may be the end of the illusion that it is otherwise”, Dr. Bretwald concluded. “I can’t wait to split the wish bone and wish for a flatscreen TV! Don’t really need one, but the if price is right, why not?!”, a Thanksgiving parking lot celebrator said.
Most of us here at kvta4.com will be eating nachos and playing video games this Thanksgiving.
