Holiday Shoppers Revolt Against Black Midnight

For those of you that are just plain unhappy about stores opening at midnight on Black Friday, we wanted to let you know that you are not alone. In fact, 87% of people don’t think stores should be open at all on Thanksgiving. With Walmart opening at 10PM, and Toys R Us opening even earlier at 9PM, shoppers will have to eat an early dinner in order to get in line for their doorbusters.

2011 Target Black Friday Petiton

Many Black Friday Fans are against Midnight store openings.

Some stores are opening at 12AM on Black Friday, also making for an early start to the Black Friday line standing. One store among 12AM openers is Target, who has recently gotten some attention due to an employee-created petition against the store opening its’ doors at 12AM. You can view the petition here.

Target employees are not the only people affected or upset about these store hours. We’ve heard many of you voicing your opinion about the 2011 store hours on our Facebook Wall as well as in our Black Friday poll.
