black friday

I plan on sleeping in. But I have a story to relate about Black Friday. A few years ago my brother and I went together on an auction that had 150+ office chairs. Gleaned through and picked out the best for resell, scrapped the rest. Anyways, BF was coming up and I had the thought of renting chairs to people to sit on for $2 a piece or whatever, then pickup the chairs after the people go in. Dunno how well it would have gone. Probably been more of a headache than anything else.

That was a treat. 4 trailer loads. Chairs stored at my house. Brothers house. Parents house. On the trailers...

I think I was in each chair about $1.50. Sold most for $10 to $15.

Also toying with getting my food truck going and serving hot drinks/food to the crowds. Once people are in line, they aren't going to want to go somewhere. Seems it would do well. Serve one crowd, roll onto the next crowd and so on.

Thats a great idea! I went to Kmart on Black Friday around 11am well after all the sales hapened, they started on Thursday at 8pm, the parking lot looked like a war zone! People left all there chairs and trash behind once they got what they wanted! I should contact these places and see about removing all the leftover chairs and other large items...
I kike the food truck idea! Girl scouts were selling hot coco at the walmart to the people in line! Only problem was no bathrooms! These places should rent porta toilets. People were peeing in the bushes LOL
