Question of the Week: Should Stores Open Even Earlier on Black Friday?

5 a.m. isn't early enough for some companies, who say they will open their doors at midnight now on Black Friday.

This week's Question of the Week has to do with shopping, stores, and holidays.

On Black Friday, aka the day after Thanksgiving when most retailers open bright and early and feature blockbuster sales, stores usually open their doors around 5 a.m. This year, however, companies like Target are talking about opening at midnight. Critics say that this is the wrong move, and gives employees less time to spend with their families on the holiday.

What do you think? Should stores open at midnight? Are you interested in shopping on Thanksgiving? Sound off below.
