Sweating the Shop: Nervous Retailers Gear up for Black Friday
Edited by Lester Brathwaite
Black Friday — that ugliest and most desperate of shopping days, in which consumers buck all self-respect and dignity while elbowing each other about the face and throat to secure the lowest price on a crock pot — is once again upon us. Analysts are predicting this to be the blackest Black Friday in history, with sales for the first time reaching $20 billion. With dollar signs in their eyes, retailers are planning to be as accommodating as possible to separate you from your hard-earned money before the turkey even gets a chance to settle in your colon. Happy Holidays!
