Though I certainly don't want to be up at 3AM to buy groceries. As I said this week, I made sure to get enough groceries by Tuesday to avoid the Thanksgiving Eve grocery store crowds.
And for the record, I did not wake up at 3AM yesterday or even today. I did get out yesterday, but waited until lunch time to get to McDonald's, then stopping at the Goodwill nearby. Was surprised not to see Goodwill crowded and to not see merchandise, especially clothes, dropped on the floor. One of the McDonald's in my town is across from Target. I didn't bother looking to see how packed the parking lot at Target was. I also had to get cat food at the Dollar Tree, which was also surprisingly not crowded either. I guess the crowds start to thin out by lunch time.
As for today, just going anywhere at all remains unknown right now. Not even certain about ordering anything online.

That first meme says it all!
When I worked retail (30 years ago), I worked afternoons and evenings, and by the time I'd get to work, the crowds had cleared out. I got to do the doorbuster thing once. It was a disaster. (The new manager--who was a moron--scheduled all the *new* cashiers for that morning. The lines were insane.)
I didn't go out yesterday, but I did take a short trip to Lowe's today. They weren't crowded, but still had a lot of things in their black Friday items out.
