I don't think it was every cool, but his post definitely illustrates a point. People go apeshit over "deal" that aren't really deals. Even when there were deals to be had, there are two reasons I still wouldn't participate in this idiocy. 1) My time is worth something, especially on a day off, and I hate waiting. 2) Fifty bucks off some shit I don't really need, and don't really need to get for someone else, hardly seems like incentive.
Here's the thing... I like buying stuff for people. I've spent a lot of money on stuff for people at times, maybe even disproportionally to the level of the relationship. People did the same for me when I was a kid or a poor adult. It's just what I feel is right. But I don't understand this crazy deal hunting thing, or at least the level that it has gone to in recent years. It's like that Shopaholic movie, where people just get a high from scoring some deal.
I'm not a hater, I just don't entirely get it.
