My fellow non-Americans on Jow Forums. Did any of your shopping stores/centers in your country adopt this awful event? If so, do the people in your country go crazy when it happens?
BLACK FRIDAY
John Young
Hudson Taylor
No because prices are ridiculously high.
Matthew Diaz
>Did any of your shopping stores/centers in your country adopt this awful event?
Yes but it's purely a marketing gimmick. There were better discounts 2-3 weeks ago.
>If so, do the people in your country go crazy when it happens?
No, we save the chimpery for Boxing Day.

yeh
get on a bus and come here already
Chase Robinson
I thought Black Friday can be at different time in a different countries.
But yes, we have it too.
Brandon Powell
the sales on black friday here are max 40% off
so no, there's literally nothing to chimp-out about
Connor Lee
Yes, all of them. It still isnt this holy day where people chimp out. Its instead calm but a bit more crowded. Some stores have had black week.
Nolan Rodriguez
I go black Friday shopping every year but never seen people chomp out. I thought it was just a meme. I don't even see deals that are that great.
Julian Howard
No, I travel to Japan.
Tyler Garcia
On paper some of them do but none of them give any real discount cuz they're too greedy. Like they place 1 20% discount on black friday but a week before they bump the price so that giving -20% only returns it to be like before.
Fucking communists, they don't realize how the market works and they'd make more money by being honest. Idiots. Fuck them.
Caleb Bell
Honestly our Black Friday sales are not anything to riot over. We are just filled to the brim with violent monkeys.
I did buy a 700 dollar TV for 400 dollars though
Robert Hall
>tfw you saw a news report last year about BLACKED Friday becoming popular in Europe, too
Julian James
I'm going to Best Buy later to buy a whole bunch of Corsair™ products. Namely a headset and a new mouse, possibly a new keyboard too.
Nolan Reed
yes
Ian Hughes
how much for a keyboard?
Robert Ross
>adopt it
Yes
>go crazy
no
Caleb Parker
Yes. Everything for the half of the double of the price
Daniel Rivera
So basically there was a law here in which the government directed when the discount seasons (or whatever they are called) were allowed to happen. So big discounts only happened during a few times every year, mostly after christmas, before summer and a few others.
Now that the government removed that law and shops can do discounts whenever they want they have been pushing hard for the black friday thing. But usually the discounts are always shit, on products that were going to have lower prices anyways or they do what said.
Lincoln Turner
>Did any of your shopping stores/centers in your country adopt this awful event?
Yes, but most stores have sales for like a week or a few days, not just one friday
Sebastian Moore
1. Yes
2. No
Levi Gonzalez
It's 80 dollars normally but it will be on sale for about 40-50.
Wyatt Garcia
I plan to buy a video game for $30 instead of $60 and then just look around. Never seen a chimpout stampede shit before, is it just in really big cities or what?
Carter Sanchez
This is from Switerland but I have seen Black Friday signs at my local Aldi yesterday.
Brandon Young
they've been consistently trying for a few years now, but I don't think it's working. When i hear about it it's always because people think it's obscene or to make fun of it.
Caleb Ward
did you check the price or the tv in january ?
Kevin James
Some shops (particularly the bigger chains) have sales on for Black Friday, but people don't go crazy over the deals like they do in America. Also I don't think Black Friday is necessarily a bad thing, at least they're honest about how it's a commercial event designed to drive up sales (unlike Christmas).
John James
Black Friday isn't a holiday, if that's what you're implying. It's a purely commercial thing.
Juan Reyes
I bought new Adilettes (my old ones are from 2009 and look like that as well) and a Nike sweater to make my total be just above free delivery price.
Gavin Baker
My point was that Christmas has been commercialised to the point where the majority of people don't actually care about its original significance.
Jaxson Myers
The industrial revolution was a mistake
