It’s the most wonderful time of the—HEY I WAS WAITING FOR THAT PARKING SPOT!!
Oh, Black Friday shopping … such an, um, exciting annual event. With door busters, crazed shoppers and parking lot clusters, it’s a wonder people even leave their homes without some kind of body armor. Well we have just the person to talk about protective clothing, Ernest Packaging Solutions President Tim Wilson.
Tim has suited up and survived it all in the Ernest Challenge video series. He has taken on sharks, wild horses, a hurricane and even none other than the mythological Bigfoot himself. So we asked him to give us his tips for protecting Black Friday shoppers from an army of shopping-cart-wielding extreme shoppers all hopped up on eggnog and holiday spirit?
