And god knows why they insist on doing Black Friday sales in Europe, where we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so stores are selling Christmas stuff all through November and there’s nothing special about that Friday.
The industry convinced FDR to move thanksgiving forward one week to increase Christmas shopping so it’s been going on longer. Thankfully the holiday was moved back to original
And in Europe they try to pull this shit off for almost 2 months. They call it Black Weeks, almost every store does it. They seriously try to tell me, that they have a sale, for 2 whole fuking months.
Actual Black Friday sales died about 20 years ago … since then, it’s just a marketing gimmick to drive up sales.
Gone are the days of clawing the face of the 130lb housewife who grabbed that 50" LCD after you got there first and is now biting your fingers.
Nothing is stopping you. It’s just not a naturally occurring experience anymore. Best Buy and LG want combat.
I never understood why people do that.
Here in Germany this was always reported as “look at those crazy idiots”.
… because it’s a 50" LCD for $499!!! and there’s only 12 of them left!!!
Well in that case…
