This American inspired, post-Thanksgiving shopping phenomenon just leaves me cold. How much Christmas shopping am I planning to do today? Well none to be honest because I am working. Surely most working age adults in the UK would have to be doing the same thing – BF is not a public holiday after all.
News on the BBC website reveals that police have been called to Tesco to break up aggressive shoppers seeking “unbelievable” BF deals.
Am I missing something or are some people just mad? Even Tesco’s management with its “every little helps” slogan will probably be thinking “really” and “get a life” or even “for God’s sake go to Aldi you cheapskate bastards”!
If you have descended into a spending/buying frenzy, I hope you saved enough dosh to make your Christmas shopping worth fighting for.
Being cynical we are all being exploited by retailers looking to meet their year-end targets and the media that has nothing better to report on today.
Black Friday really is “Bullshit Friday” if you ask me.
