Target and Best Buy asked for police presence and plan to slow the rush
Both are opening at midnight, much earlier than other years. Police don't expect much trouble, though, and, in Target's case, a metering system used at other Black Fridays have proven effective.

MARILYN HAGERTY: Pilgrims never went shopping day after Thanksgiving
Dear Shirley, From the plains of North Dakota to the desert of Arizona, I send greetings today. And I hope your turkey is tender, the dressing moist and the pumpkin pie has plenty of real whipped cream on top. Too bad we can’t be together, but the miles are too many.

Count your blessings, then get to work. That may be Thanksgiving for more retail workers this year, as stores desperate to pull in buyers on the first weekend of the holiday shopping season push their openings earlier and earlier.

With Christmas on a Saturday, shopping days are numbered
