All Americans don't. Not for all the tea in Boston Harbor could you get me anywhere near a store on Black Friday.
Nimbus · M
@Mamapolo2016 I don't blame you.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't.

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 Without the fun! People actually get trampled to death.

@AbbeyRhode I think I read that.
Horrifying!

Most of them don't.
What you see are examples of the desperate and the crazy.

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.

@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.

No idea, but it's not worth getting stabbed over a toaster that's $5 less than regular price.

@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. 🙄

@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.

They think that they saved money but they bought something they don't need.

@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.

@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.
