Title: Black Friday
Post by: jay on November 25, 2010, 08:01:05 AM
There were so many ads in today's Thanksgiving Day newspaper that my newspaper carrier delivered it in two plastic bags.   One bag contained the actual newspaper and the other bag contained the ads.

I will not shop on Friday, November 26.

I did the black Friday thing twice in my life the first time was many years ago, Best buy offered a modem for $5.00 the line was around the building. Turn around and went home . the second time was last year, mega-lo mart offered a ride in Barbi car for a reasonable cost , we were there at 5 am , went in , none left !!! was told by an employee they only had 2 . NEVER AGAIN ! Now I shop strictly on line . Its not as Christmasy but really what is these days ? Its all about the almighty $$$

Re: "They only had two" [in stock]...


This is the oldest trick in their book of retail tactics to get people to come
into the store.

They typically only stock a few of the "super bargain' items... and you can
count on them being sold out before you can get your hands on any of
them....
