    Black Friday needs to go back to being just a one day thing. Now it’s Black Friday month with “early black Friday sales” and it’s harder and harder to determine if a) the sales are actually sales, and b) I should wait until actual black Friday in hope of a steeper discount

      None of them are sales. They just market cheaper versions of shit and call it a sale.

        It would make you unhappy to learn it’s still our busiest shipping day at work by far. Even though it’s nearly common knowledge how much of a scam it is

      If every day is a sale then no day is a sale!

      The sales were never sales. That was their trick.

      Luckily we have tools like CamelCamelCamel to track pricing of products overtime and know if something is on sale or just marked up to mark down (i.e. the Kohl’s protocol)

      Hot tip: you can wail on someone at BestBuy 365 days a year.

    I’m conflicted. I’d rather not see christmas decoration in october, but I definitely want to eat spekulatius cookies and gingerbread year-round.

      And if Christmas stops the ridiculousness that is Black Friday then I’m all for it.

    I say we push Christmas back to its original border of 12 days, no more.

        Your proposal is acceptable.

          Hold up. That would mean they get to annex boxing day and new year’s.

            Which are already part of the same stretch of “winter holiday break” anyway.

    This is a common sentiment but I was surprised when I went to Lowe’s last week and it was all Christmas. I didn’t see any Halloween decorations.
