Like others have stated, don't do it since you'll hurt your fellow coworkers. I work at a grocery store so obviously I don't have to deal with that crap on Black Friday but I've had days (Thanksgiving preparations, large groups coming in randomly, Christmas preparation, high school graduations, etc, etc) where people did call out sick on incredibly busy days that made it harder for all the coworkers. Perhaps they were legit, perhaps not, but if you're quitting because of that, be prepared for repercussions such as leaving the workplace on a bad note and being called "unreliable." There are numerous jobs that suck more than what you have, and no one wants to work on very busy days but someone has to do it.
Be smart about this: Work on Black Friday and then announce that you wish to quit. Leave on a good note.
