Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.
Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.
The tradition is to get drunk off Bailey’s by 9am and then punch the Kmart clerk.
Where you finding a K-Mart these days?
Buy nothing day
🤜🤛
I bought a burger, does that count?
was it on sale?
No.
It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.
Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with “SALE” in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.
No prizes anymore just scams and lies
Is this a joke I’m too Yuropean to understand?
It’s about the Friday after thanksgiving (which was yesterday) traditionally being a day where stores put some attractive wares on special and then people turn into absolute stampeding cattle and brawling gorillas getting said wares before the unnecessarily limited supply runs out.
Afaik, it’s not unusual for at least a couple people to be trampled or otherwise killed by this absolutely unhinged consumerism frenzy.
Here’s to hoping that it wasn’t that bad this year though, as the specials were apparently crappy and thus not worth committing involuntary manslaughter over 🤞🤞
I know. I pretended to not know to let my smug Yuropeanness shine.
Real talk though, I know we have more than enough problems of our own and love to import the most stupid ones from you guys. Although we thankfully passed on this particular madness.
Still, thanks for the explanation. Might be helpfull for those who don’t know and are too afraid to ask.
I’m actually European myself, but yeah, I agree 💯. I participated in Buy Nothing Day here in Denmark 🇩🇰
I actually bought some miniatures from an English company they only sell during events with some friends. Nothing amazing though and we weren’t in any rush, just placing our order over the internet.
The main thing missing from the other comments is that the Brawling didn’t become mainstream until the 2005 telecom bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. People are more willing to fistfight over hearing aid batteries when they have gone from prosperity to moderate financial discomfort within a year or two. Now things just suck in general. No point in punching aomeone over a flat-screen TV when you could be using that money for rent. I haven’t seen anything crazy happen on black Friday in years
Biggest prize is you get to pay full price as if it’s being sold on a normal day and you get a chance of being trampled and killed because someone wants a new TV to replace the old model they got brand new a month ago!
More like loot boxes than prizes nowadays
