I miss Boxing Day. 15 years ago it was my favorite day of the year, used to get up stupid early, wait in line for hours, but we'd turn it into a party! A&B Sound on Boxing Day was a madhouse of epic proportions! Bought my first flatscreen TV at Visions Electronics after waiting in the snow for hours (and we don't get much snow around here)... That magic has certainly disappeared.Originally Posted by cycoblade

If you need religion to have good morals then you don't actually have good morals.
I stand corrected. Shows what I shop for most!
I like to think I know enough to know when I don’t know enough….
The original concept of "black friday" was around the fact that retail operations take until that relative date to finally end up in the "black". The average date to actually turn a profit. This date is relevant in Canada just like the US. Just happened to align so well with american dates that it was bastardized.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Love it. It’s ridiculous this year.
Pre-pre Black Friday week last week
Pre Black Friday week this week
Black Friday week next week
Cyber Monday week after that
It’s lost all meaning
I don't search for meaning, I search for deals. I try not to get too cerebral looking for cheap ammo. lol
This is simply not true.
The truth is that it was named Black Friday by the Police in Philadelphia Back in the 1950s, police in the city of Philadelphia used the term to describe the chaos that ensued on the day after Thanksgiving, when hordes of suburban shoppers and tourists flooded into the city in advance of the big Army-Navy football game held on that Saturday every year. Not only were Philly cops not able to take the day off, but they had to work extra-long shifts dealing with the additional crowds and traffic. Shoplifters also took advantage of the bedlam in stores and made off with merchandise, adding to the law enforcement headache.
Quoted from the history channel. I don't know how to post a link.
The red ink, black ink is a complete fallacy. But a prettier kinder story that makes you feel sorry for businesses that worked all year losing money until November.
Edited for spelling and because I barely know what I am doing with a computer.
You realize though that announcing you're "Anti Black Friday" in a post listing all your sales that are available during the black Friday window is...just another marketing gimmick though, right?
We posted this so when people come to our thread asking about "Black Friday sales", they can read this before posting
If that meets the criteria of a gimmick to you, than everything must be a gimmick to you.

Yes. And yet so many here are terrified of becoming too Americanized lol
When a clown moves into the palace, he does not become a king.
The palace becomes a circus.
I shamelessly stole quote this from thegunnut because it simply identifies the state of this country - a three ring circus
This is amazing! Finally some common sense! Now.....gotta shop (at Frontier)!
