#16: Not Kid-Friendly

Let’s think about what Black Friday shopping is like: long, boring waits in very long lines. Standing outside in the cold. Large crowds. Noise. The potential for violence to break out at any moment because two shoppers both have their eyes on the same air fryer.

Does any of this sound remotely like the kind of place you ought to take a 3-year-old child? I’m pretty sure kids that age don’t like any of those things that I just mentioned. Well, maybe they like it when they’re the ones making noise and breaking out in violence, but I don’t think they enjoy being surrounded by it. Leave your kid at home, and if you insist on bringing them, maybe you should make an effort to protect them from the stampeding hordes.
