Despite the fact that I'm currently looking at spending about $180 total ($100 TV from Sears, $20 StarCraft II and $35 Diablo III from Best Buy, $25 Tekken Tag Tournament 2 from Wal-Mart), I can't say I'm a fan of Black Friday, particularly because of how employees at a lot of stores are treated. I do like that a lot of places are offering their major sales online, and some online-only retailers are stretching their Black Friday sales over the entire week (or, in Newegg's case, the whole month).
I also don't like how a lot of stuff came out this week to take advantage of the Black Friday rush, because Thanksgiving wreaks havoc on postal services, and I really want my non-Black Friday-related Persona 4 Golden this week. :|
As far as the work thing, while I'm still unemployed, my brother is working later today, and he's at Wal-Mart, possibly the worst place to work on Black Friday...but because he's injured (work-related, but not Black Friday-related), he's not actually going to be out on the floor at any point in his shift. Meanwhile, my dad (who's undergoing training as a cosmetologist) will be cutting quite a few hairs today.
