Black Friday shopping 'riots'

[BolshieBastard]

Just seen the pictures of 'people' scrapping in Tesco's and the likes over Black Friday 'bargains.'

Utter madness.

I had to wait in a 20 minute queue to access Curry's website and couldn't even get onto the Game or Argos websites

Just keeping the Plebs populace busy.

Funny thing is if they brought the stuff at some random time of year they would get it the same price.

I've noticed some retailers have put their prices up since the start of November....

A fair few of the people they show in those riots are descendants of those who aren't thankful they ended up in the US.

How's it different to the Boxing Day sales, or that matter the obsession with getting gifts while blathering on about Christmas being about people and family?

Contracting at the HQ of one of the major high street retailers at the moment. They are laughing their arses off for the free publicity this generates.

Is that what Thanksgiving is about? I thought it was something to do with being thankful the Indians didn't put up too much of a fight.
