There’s a reason I won’t wait outside of stores at 4 a.m. or stand in line at the checkout on Black Friday. First, I’m parsimonious. Second, I’m easily agitated at busy stores. Although, there’s a dirty little secret that’s hard to hide. I would quickly throw my miserly means out the door and stand in line for hours if a retailer slashed the price on a nice piece of Nikon equipment that I really wanted. Maybe the road goes both ways.
