@fitheach Agreed! I'm also keeping a list of the companies who are actively railing against Black Friday so I can buy from them in future.

@trebach Couldn't those events have happened on any day of the year (and possibly do)?

@fitheach There's added incentive for fights due to products on sale that go quick and many places won't give you a rain check so you can buy it at that price once they get more in. People literally fight and trample one another to get certain in demand items. Goddamn animals

@trebach Every decade, or so, there have been retail product madness events. The first one was (I think) Cabbage Patch Dolls, a "must have" toy. Reportedly, there were fights to get the last ones on sale.You're saying Black Friday is like that every year.
