"Target, in particular, drew thousands of shoppers to select stores as early as 3 a.m. on Friday, with promises of a complimentary gift bag for the first ones through the door at 6 a.m. However, some social media users were disappointed with the gift bag's apparent lack of swag, which included items such as fun-size candy, drink mix samples, shampoo, and a deck of Uno cards."
""Y'all gonna have them wait outside in the freezing cold in some of these areas just for y'all to give them gummy clusters?" one TikTok user said in a video. "That's diabolical, man." "Black Friday is cooked," he added. "Better luck next year." The company said that all of its gift bags were claimed by the 6 a.m. opening, with some locations having as many as 500 people in line."
