Love me some REI (even more than I already do!)

For the past few years, REI has shut down its entire business for Black Friday. The company gives its employees the day off, keeps it brick and mortar doors closed, and even flips over the “closed” sign on its website. All part of the campaign to emphasize, well, getting the hell out...
