Poll of the Day > "Black Friday as we know it is dead"

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am genuinely surprised that it was not canceled due to having some space-moon logic tying it to racism somehow from a hundred years back.

I guess the reason I hate Black Friday so much is because they stopped having it on Friday and tear people away from their dinners with their families to go shopping or to be the employees having to service the events at your local retailers.

I personally used to work at Walmart and Thanksgiving was one day you are not allowed to take off for this reason, it would literally count against you as bad as no call no show.

So it's because coronavirus.

Black Friday is the day of the year where you go from the red of deficit into the black of profit... since the economy was delayed by a couple of months there won't be a black friday this year

But since businesses aren't so dumb that they can't survive a low profit year, they're still gunna have quarterly gains next year

I'm pretty sure they will invent something.

Ugh, I can see Amazon combining their Prime "Day", Black Friday, Cyber Monday and December Peak season into some BS ._.

But Black is a GOOD thing, it means you are finally PROFIT

Even if Black Friday doesn't happen in-person this year --- which is a HUGE if -- it almost certainly will in future years.

It's a clickbait article from the notoriously unreliable CNN and, as such, isn't worth the... I guess webpage it's published on?
