A Dark Black Friday Morning
Just when retailers thought things were getting about as bad as they could going into Black Friday, the first day of the Christmas shopping season, some merchants in downtown Charleston got a nasty surprise this morning: vandals had superglued the front door locks at more than 70 — and as many as 90 — stores.
By putting the glue into the keyholes, the merchants weren’t able to turn the tumblers to unlock the doors, leaving them closed for business and fuming for payback.
One store owner decided to throw a cinder block through the front door so they could at least get customers lined up during the early morning hours inside.
The real winners this Black Friday in downtown Charleston seem to have been folks who never get much attention on a day like this: local locksmiths.
