Black Friday? Oh, you mean International Buy Nothing Day!
I once had to make an emergency Amazon purchase on Black Friday due to needing a cable that was stopping me from doing my job and I felt like an asshole. But it was that or my job.
Pretty much done with my shopping anyhow. The deals aren't really that great.
The deals aren't really deals. Price increases just to "lower" the price for a faux sale.
Maybe 10 years ago black Friday deals were actual deals.
For the last three or four years I've only seen prices go up for items I have waited on during prime day, black friday, cyber monday etc.
Worldwide
Thanksgiving should really be pushed to the Friday, why Lincoln went with the damned Thursday of that week I simply cannot comprehend, and why Nixon's Monday Holiday schtick didn't affect it too I especially don't understand
Every store I ship from has already had sales. Shit maybe I should buy something for Christmas 😋
