Actually, Black Friday is not because its a Horrid shopping day, but its generally the day that retail stores go out of the red and head into the black financially for the year.
I might be the only person that enjoys going out and shopping on Black Friday. It's just fun being a part of the gigantic capitalist machine known as America...brings a tear to my eye, really...
Well at my local SuperCenters, one year people started showing up at midnight and putting the specials in their baskets and waiting until 6 AM..insane. Now people generally get up at 3-4 in the morning and head to Wal-Mart to get in a line where tickets are handed out. Those that receive a ticket get a piece of the merchandise on sale, don't have a ticket you don't get a thing.
Not according to the article I read: What makes the possible offer particularly interesting is that Wal-Mart often will stock 50 to 100 of its "special deal" PCs in each store. By contrast, some retailers will sometimes stock only a token number of advertised specials in each store.
