Black Friday
« on: 17 November 2023, 14:03:11 »

Some big names have been pushing their sales pages today the rest of them have been having a Black Friday Sale for weeks

But surely why not just have a mega sale day on the actual day.

Because it has nothing whatsoever to do with race ::)

Quote
Black Friday
noun
noun: Black Friday; plural noun: Black Fridays
the day after the US holiday of Thanksgiving, regarded as the first day of the Christmas shopping season, on which retailers make many special offers.
"shoppers were snapping up deals on Black Friday"
Origin
early 17th century (as school slang, in the sense ‘Friday on which an examination is held’). The shopping sense dates from the 1960s and was originally used with reference to congestion created by shoppers; it was later explained as a day when retailers’ accounts went from being ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’.

Might be to do with the colour of the people who fight in the shops ?  ;)

Here's a top tip for anyone thinking of Black Friday bargains.  There aren't any. Like January sales, stock is bought specially for the event, and prices are held artificially high in the lead up.
