Black Friday
Fleeing to the shops this weekend to find you black Friday barging? If so, you’re joining a record number of 220 million shoppers who also hit the shops Friday, facing mile-long queue lines and crazy good discounts! On the biggest shopping day of the year, buyers have spent more than $52.4million all together, breaking the new record. But is black Friday really worth it?
A young gentleman expressed, ‘Black Friday brings out the worst in people, it makes them go psycho. I’ve never seen anything like it’
Believe it or not behaviour like this is seen all the time. For example this year; a woman used pepper spray in order to break out the crowd in front of her, only to find a bundle of Xbox games. Also many shoppers have been seen fighting over selected items, in order to grab the best deals at the best price.
Black Friday is said to set the shopping market up for Christmas, but is it just setting everyone up for disaster?
