«Breaking News» Who cares about Thanksgiving! Shoppers are already camping outside stores to bag Black Friday deals

Diehard bargain hunters have already lined up for Black Friday, passing on Thanksgiving dinner in favor of deals.


Nearly every major retail chain will open its doors on Thanksgiving Day this year, in an arms race to lure holiday shoppers that seems to creep earlier and earlier every year. For some shoppers, being first though the door has become a tradition.


In Gastonia, North Carolina, John Chapman and his childhood buddy pitched a tent outside of the Best Buy on Monday night, ensuring their first spot in line in a tradition they've carried on for 15 years.


'You don't really need to camp out anymore. You can get everything online before Black Friday,' Chapman told WCNC. 'But we just enjoy doing it. We cook out, watch football and have a good time.'

'About four years ago, or five years ago, I was number four. And I told 'em, if I come back I'm going for number one,' Powell said

In Spanish Fort, Alabama, softball coach Wren Powell set up camp outside of Best Buy on Wednesday morning at 8am, securing first place in line in what has become an annual tradition for him.


'About four years ago, or five years ago, I was number four. And I told 'em, if I come back I'm going for number one,' Powell told NBC15.


Powell came prepared for the chilly weather with a portable heater and blankets. He said he planned to buy laptops and a new TV for his grandchildren. 


Early lines and campers were also spotted outside of Best Buy stores in Florida, Hawaii and Missouri. 


A row of tents spotted near a Best Buy in Los Angeles on Tuesday was thought to consist of Black Friday deal seekers, though this could not be independently confirmed.


Best Buy will open its doors at 5pm on Thanksgiving Day, in what has become a controversial trend among retailers since Walmart first opened at 8pm on Thanksgiving in 2012.

This year, JC Penny is among the earliest to open, throwing open the doors to eager shopper at 2pm on Thanksgiving and remaining open all the way until 10pm on Black Friday.


Holdouts to the trend of opening on Thanksgiving Day include Costco, Home Depot and Nordstrom, all of which will remain closed for the holiday until Friday morning this year.


A National Retail Federation survey projects that 164 million people will go shopping over the five-day holiday weekend - with 21 per cent, or 34 million, planning to shopping on Thanksgiving itself.


While 65 per cent of the shoppers said they hit the stores on Thanksgiving weekend in order to take advantage of sales, a full 26 per cent said they do so because it has become a tradition with family and friends.


'We're seeing a change in how the younger consumers see the weekend,' said Phil Rist, executive vice president of strategy for Prosper Insights.

'Compared to older generations, younger consumers under the age of 35 are more likely to be attracted by the social aspects of shopping over the weekend or by the fact that it is a family tradition.' 


Though retailers love the heavy foot traffic over Thanksgiving weekend, many are trying to find ways to cut down on chaos and long checkout lines. 


Walmart, Target and other large retailers are sending workers throughout their stores this year to check out customers with mobile devices. And at Macy's, shoppers can scan and pay for items on their own smartphones. 


J.C. Penney, which has been offering mobile checkout for years, says it sent an additional 6,000 mobile devices to stores this year so workers can check shoppers out quicker, like when lines get long on Black Friday. 


Other stores are testing it for the first time: Kohl's says iPad-wielding workers will roam 160 of its more than 1,100 stores.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
