On a personal note, I'd just like to say how much I despise that some companies are forcing their employees away from their families to sell cheap junk so they can get in a few extra bucks before the end of the year. It's one thing to make people work for infrastructure like police, hospitals, and even gas stations. But does Wal-Mart or Target really need to be open today? Some stores are even staying open all night. Really? My first regular job was pizza delivery. After ten it was just the weirdos ordering, and that was food. Who's shopping for laptops and DVDs at three in the morning? There's a quote in this article saying "What's more important to us is keeping our staff happy and keeping morale at the company at a high level." Having to skip family time to work minimum wage to sell crap to people who don't care about their family isn't helping anyone but the pockets of those at the top. So please, just wait till tomorrow to shop. The deals will still be there, in fact they're usually there all weekend. Be home with your family, no matter what you really think of them, and send a message that employees should also be home with their families.
