Actual Black Friday sales died about 20 years ago ... since then, it's just a marketing gimmick to drive up sales.
Gone are the days of clawing the face of the 130lb housewife who grabbed that 50" LCD after you got there first and is now biting your fingers.
And god knows why they insist on doing Black Friday sales in Europe, where we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so stores are selling Christmas stuff all through November and there's nothing special about that Friday.
