Day After Thanksgiving Sales
76Well it is here again, the Day after thanksgiving sale It seems to be coming around quicker and quicker each year but that could be my advancing old age of course.
Why are these sales such a big deal? Because the stores normally offer some crazy deals that you just can't miss out on. Well unless you realize that your bed is really warm and it is freezing out there!
I don't think i would describe the black friday sales as fun exactly but they are something that everone should experience once in their life. To watch the way that people shove and pull and push to save $5 on a pair of jeans is an amazing lesson in human psychology.
Not always a good lesson but a lesson none the less. There is almost always some tragedy or bad behavior that gets featured on the news at 5pm. One year someone died as they were crushed by the crowds storming into the store. Is that microwave at 50% off really worth someones life?

I always wondered how many people go home and then regret the purchases the day after.
We actually got to the front of the line with a TV one year and then stopped as we realized there are better ways to spend $500!
So who takes the loss if people return items that are brought in especially for the black friday sales?
The day after Turkey day is one filled with wonder and dread! Some great sales going on - but you have to gear up in battle armor to avoid getting clobbered by some house Mom on a mission! Great hub - will keep it bookmarked!

I have a friend who works as a major manufacturer for Wal Mart. He says around 30% of all things bought get returned after Black Friday. It's an interesting statistic that maybe you should consider publishing :)
