All Americans don't. Not for all the tea in Boston Harbor could you get me anywhere near a store on Black Friday.

@Mamapolo2016 I don't blame you.
I wouldn't.
AbbeyRhode · F
They are commanded by their media and advertising overlords to go forth and celebrate the season of goodwill by bashing heads and trampling their fellow humans for bargains.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode It's like a circus!
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus Without the fun! People actually get trampled to death.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode I think I read that.
Horrifying!
Most of them don't.
What you see are examples of the desperate and the crazy.
Nimbus · M
@nonsensiclesnail Ahaaa, that could be so.

In this age of everything having to be so p.c. I've often wondered how it is still be allowed to be called this.
Nimbus · M
@pennynoodles Good point.

@pennynoodles Has to do with corporate profits...it’s the time that they go from red (not making a profit) to being in the black (making a profit) for the entire year. But I can’t believe that. Most of these stores make a lot of money every day unless we’re in a recession.

Americans are slaves to good marketing.
Nimbus · M
@BlueVeins I guess we are all susceptible to some extent.
raysam363 · 31-35, F
No idea, but it's not worth getting stabbed over a toaster that's $5 less than regular price.
Nimbus · M
@raysam363 Exactly!
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
I have never gone and I will never go.
Nimbus · M
@SwampFlower Good for you 👍️
4meAndyou · F
It is an American expiation for the sin of greed. 😟
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou If it is that is sad.
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus Yea, woe unto all sinners who enter Walmart the day after Thanksgiving...WOE! Whoa, I say!!!😂
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Walmart.............another thing we don't have.........thankfully :)
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
Cheap stuff piled high.
Nimbus · M
@cherokeepatti = a broken arm, lol

@Nimbus people are crazier in some cities than others. The store I worked in had a big group of law enforcement officers they hired to keep the peace at every door and probably some in the back of the store too. I don’t even know if they had any real incidents either.

Because saving $10 on a Major appliance is an accomplishment here. 🙄
If someone gets trampled oh,well...
Nimbus · M
@SW-User A saving IS a saving no matter what :)
SW-User
@Nimbus I never have and never will do this,we just get done, a day before, giving our thanks for what we have and then we're going to push and shove people aside to get 5 bucks off of something? Makes no sense to me.
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Exactly and surely online sales are cheaper?
Oldfashionedcouple · 41-45, C
So only black people can go shopping? Why is it called black friday? Seems racist to me
@Oldfashionedcouple It's like Yellow Fever. That's a racist disease.
Nimbus · M
@Oldfashionedcouple Good point.
Funwoman · 46-50, F
They think that they saved money but they bought something they don't need.
Nimbus · M
@Funwoman Good point!
Funwoman · 46-50, F
@Nimbus 👍
SweetMae · 70-79, F
That is good day to stay home in my opinion!! I like Cyber Monday.
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
It's all advertising and conditioning.
Nimbus · M
@SageWanderer Ahaaaaa, got ya!
SW-User
I have no idea.
Personally I couldn't care less
Nimbus · M
@SW-User K
Me neither really just interested :)
SW-User
SALES!!! Sale prices make me nuts!
Nimbus · M
@SW-User 😆
TexChik · F
Not everyone does
Nimbus · M
@TexChik I wouldn't.
Who wants to fight just to save a $ ?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Nimbus The time I worked at Walmart when they had their early Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving night there were people who couldn’t even find a single parking space if they didn’t come at least an hour early. The store was so crowded that after my break I had to maneuver around and get to the front from the break room in the back and it took me nearly 15 minutes to do a one minute or less walk to the front.
Rickg · 31-35, M
Because they are trained seals
Nimbus · M
@Rickg 😛
shopping hooligans lol
Nimbus · M
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
Ah, but I've heard it's starting to spread to other countries. 🧐 *insert evil chuckle*
Nimbus · M
@ineedadrink It is as many American traditions do :)

Nimbus · M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Good Q.

ASDA do good Black Friday deals on TV's ;)
SW-User
Bc were broke af and we like the savings.
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Good enough for a fight? :)
SW-User
@Nimbus Yep
I didn’t! But it’s because of their first world problems I’m sure.
Nimbus · M
@Dirtymikeandtheboys Good point.
calicuz · 51-55, M
Because it is the beginning of the shopping season.
Nimbus · M
@calicuz There are seasons?? :)
calicuz · 51-55, M
@Nimbus

Yes...lol...
TrunkZ · 56-60, M
