Starting on Thursday, folks lined up outside aggressively non-boutique stores like Old Navy and Wal-Mart across the U.S. in order to get sanity-estranged deals on holiday shopping. Although Black Friday is as American as bad credit and apple pie, many San Franciscans are still amazed every year that folks make mad AM dashes to get bargains of the century.

Anyway, here are some shots from this morning's Black Friday in San Francisco. For those of you who took part in the annual tradition, we hope you got something nice for your family and for yourself.
