Yes I am a Newbie. Why do you ask?

is this a trick question? i almost fell out of my chair, lol.

wanted to say WELCOME to the board. I believe BF is the day when some, if not most retailers, make enough profits to bring their sales for the year "in the black(positive)" and not "in the red(negative)" and at the same time, pass the sales onto their customers.

I know thats explained poorly, hopefully someone can come by and make it sound better, lol.

Oh Sure laugh at the Newbie, lol.

It's basically a day in which crazy people like US spend the night in lawn chairs and pop-up tents to get great deals on electronics and such!

Viva la Black Friday!

I also wanted to add that Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving.

oh yeah, good call. :)

This reminds me of a person where I used to work. I asked her what she was doing for black Friday and she said nothing she wasn't religious. Everyone is the building heard her and cracked up, we still pick on her to this day about it.

haha, that's hilarious! i know my family thinks I'm CRAZY for waiting outside in line for hours and hours! they just don't understand the excitement of the chase! haha.

IT IS FUN....LOL....shop til you about to fall over....and spend to much money...lol

For me, It is a night/day combination where I am hyped up, get very little sleep and shop til I drop the next day.

The anticipation is half the fun!!

Of course, black friday is considered a legitimate religion to some of us. All depends on how you celebrate. :cheesy:

IT is the one day that work knows I need off- I work any other day of the year -I usually work Thanksgiving but have had the last few BF's off!! It is a national holiday now- isn't it??

Wouldn't you need thanksgiving off as well? Those lines might be a bit long by the time you get off work. ;)

I go in at 4 a.m.- I can usually get off by 10 a.m.- it's triple time so they try to get me out of there as quick as they can...

OF COURSE there would be something about it on wikipedia... haha!!!

priceless!!

it always floors me when someone asks this question. i've worked in retail for the past 10 years, imagine my shock when arriving in AZ to work in a new mall and my EMPLOYER asked me about Black Friday.

I had mentioned it and asked what time our store opened on Black Friday and he said "I don't know, when is Black Friday?" I told him that it was the day after Thanksgiving and he said "Oh I've never heard of that. Is that Catholic?"

asdlkfja How can you be in upper management in retail and not know what black friday is? sheesh. sorry. just had to share.

WOW!!! That guy must've been EXTREMELY ignorant! What a bozo!!! haha

It is the best day EVER!!!!

:gdyeahthat:

My favorite shopping Day of the Year!!!!!

It's like Disneyland for Shopaholics......

Oh Sure laugh at the Newbie, lol.
