Black Friday

Black Friday is a day of deals and savings, right? Black Friday is really a marketing scam if you all haven't figured that out by now. So you go out of your way to rearrange your schedule and even take off work so you can be in line at 2am and sit in the possible miserable weather conditions to save a few bucks. Not to mention, once again, are you just going for the things that you really need or are you going to get caught in the moment of the shopping experience and buy more than you came for and probably didn't need. That's the marketing end of this Black Friday that businesses look forward to. Not only are they selling it a little cheaper than the regular price, but they are betting on the volume that they are going to sell. You, as the customer, is caught up in the shopping experience and the holiday spirit and more than likely going to buy other items that you didn't come for. Not to mention everything that you bought that is not on the Black Friday sale list. If Black Friday was really for the customer, the businesses wouldn't start advertising this sale a month in advance. It's a way to get the commercial end of the holiday's started and the businesses profiting from it. Happy Black Friday!
