So it’s not just me then that find this sort of black friday bull*hit abhorrent? Greed and consumerism at it’s absolute worst.
Feel so sorry for people wrapped up in this sort of thing, just like I feel sorry for the muppets queued outside our local branch of Next at 3am come Boxing Day morning rather than spending Boxing Day with their families or out in the great outdoors. Or even worse – shopping online Xmas Day – yes sales start Xmas day now 😯
Thing about black friday is (having worked in retail), the majority of stuff on offer is either A – old soon to be outdated stock, B – cheaper, downspeced versions of look alike products made by the manufacturers specifically for these sales, or C – just sh*t that no one would buy at full price anyway. Sure there’s the odd headline bargain to lure people in but by enlarge if you shop smart the rest of the year then you can probably often match black friday prices anyway, and you’re buying what you actually want/need rather than whats on offer just because it looks cheap.
Black friday, bu**er off back to the States!
