Buy Nothing Day ~ TARGET WAL-MART

The day after Thanksgiving...

Show up at your local Wal-Mart, bright and early with your friends,

and start filling carts with the most desired consumer "goods" (small

toys and expensive trinkets are ideal since all this stuff will have

to be re-shelved) -- try not to break anything. If you don's simply

abandon the carts before moving on to the next store, you might

realize that you forgot your wallet after everything has been rung up

(ideally at the busiest hours -- say at 11am and 5pm).

Do not piss in the dressing rooms or leave anti-consumerism agitprop

around the stores. Whatever you do, do not try to monopolize employee

time on the sale floor or on the phone (time is money and employees

are a consumer convenience) and certainly don't bring a stopwatch to

make a game of that activity. Breaking glass or leaving nails in the

parking lot would be going too far. Try to have fun on BND but don't

try to create as much of an inconvenient hassle as is humanly/heavenly

possible. Remember, your not trying to change the world with

collective effort. Don't repeat these activities throughout the

holiday shopping season after the BND holiday and, whatever you do,

don't get caught if you break any of these rules. Take care and have

fun.
