Since most of the Major retailers open TODAY for "Black Friday" is it time to change it to "Thanksgiving Sales" or something other than Black Friday?
Maybe it'll become its own season just like Christmas. Then we'll hear people saying things like, "I saw a Black Friday commercial yesterday -- Can you believe it? It's only June!"
I agree. I see very few good sales which makes it hardly worth the trouble. Part of the fun was the thrill of the chase but there's not much to chase now.I think that's what many retailers are treating it like now. I saw "Black Friday deals" somewhere early in November which were barely typical sale prices. To me, Black Friday will live on as a memory of overnight lines, store giveaways, and very good discounts. Maybe one day it will be back
I still think tomorrow, after today's sales, many stores' ledgers will go into the black.
I like the way you think.They should just call it it "Black November" and run the sales for the whole month and forget this one day nonsense. Then they could be closed on the actual holidays. And people wouldn't act like animals in the store.

Blame your state or local government. If retailers couldn't legally be open on Thanksgiving, they wouldn't be.Then they could be closed on the actual holidays.
Or blame the people who lobbied your state and local government to change the laws so they COULD be open on the holiday.Blame your state or local government. If retailers couldn't legally be open on Thanksgiving, they wouldn't be.

No, still blame the lawmakers.
Yes the government COULD change the laws to disallow this but they won't.Blame your state or local government. If retailers couldn't legally be open on Thanksgiving, they wouldn't be.
Yeah, it is. I'm in Massachusetts. Only pharmacies and convenience stores are open around here today. Wa!Matt opens at 1 am tonight. Not sure of exact times for other stores, but none before 12:01 AM on November 24.No. They don't need that kind of control. And it isn't their fault.
Chicken/egg, cause/effect...If they wouldn't open on Thanksgiving they wouldn't have LINES of people waiting to get into stores on Thanksgiving.If they didn't have LINES of people waiting to get in their doors to shop on Thanksgiving they wouldn't be open.
