Maybe not - depends on your view of Black Friday I suppose. Walmart employees across the country might be gearing up for a Black Friday strike of sorts. Personally I can't stand Walmart and I also am not a huge Black Friday fan although my wife gets up early for some reason every year for no reason I can see (she never gets anything of value and always grumbles about the experience).

Everybody should hit the Black Friday sales once in their lives, so they'll know why they should never do it again.

Got every last bit of my Christmas shopping done on line last year, and it was awesome.

I'll be in Austria. I go to great lengths to avoid Black Friday.

And then on Saturday morning, here and there, we'll see grainy video shots on the news of people literally fighting, punching, kicking (or worse) while stampeding through a Big Box store's doors somewhere.

Yeah, not waking up at 4 AM and squashing against the mass of humanity is worth the $ savings I'll be missing out on.

How is it Walmart's fault that healthcare costs are high?

I don't have a problem with Walmart employees engaging in collective bargaining. I also do not have a problem with Walmart not engaging in collective bargaining and severing ties with those employees and hiring new ones in their place. Walmart did not beg them to come to work. They did so fully aware of their business model.

If Obamacare is the reason behind the high costs then maybe obama will give Walmart a waiver.....

if you don't mind spending a good bit of money I recommend you dine at Steirereck. It's rated as one of the best restaurants and I can tell you that it was awesome when i was there a few weeks ago. You need to make a reservation and it might be too late, but definitely worth a try

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm also headed up to Prague, so if PTH reads this do you have any recommendations?

I'm going for the first time this year. I'm going to try to have a minor heart attack or something before then. Thanksgiving might help me out in that regard.

hmm i haven't been in prague in a few years, but there was a good pizza place. My parents recommended it to me, so maybe they still have the name
