I was driving back from Austin today when I saw an outlet mall on the side of the road. I thought to myself, "say, I do need some shoes, maybe I'll stop and get some."
And then I saw the parking lot. Oh yeah. Black Friday. And the fields next to the parking lot, also covered with cars. Yeah, new shoes can wait.
I can't really understand why people go to such lengths on Black Friday. Do you really think the deals are that much better? Have you lived in America before? Half the time, "sale" is equivalent to "we raised the price and then lowered it, check out this deal!".
I suppose it's cultural, and I suppose some people just enjoy the excitement of it.
Bah, humbug.
