More than 1,000 workers at an Amazon warehouse in Britain will strike for four days next month, including on the typically busy Black Friday shopping day, the GMB trade union said on Tuesday.
Originally, yes. However, the sale hype overflowed into Europe a few years back. Ultimately nobody minds, it’s not about the holiday after all. Shops get to make fire sales and customers get deals and that’s all that matters. It’s just a convenient oppurtunity to make huge sales and benefit from the hype that is already made in America about it.
Everyone’s connected thanks to the internet and people in Europe are more aware of things like Black Friday thanks to that.
USA is the trend setter of the world when it comes to selling garbage from China at seemingly low prices around any holiday or special event.
But black Friday is a little generic… The end of November is approximately when most retail businesses go from “red” to “black” financially… That is the financially black day is the first day of the year when every sale from that point is 100% profit… All debts and liabilities for the year are covered.
Not anymore. I assume Amazon now run it in all their stores.
It got very newsworthy in the UK a few years back when people lost their shit over the deals and we’re fighting each in supermarkets over cheap tellies.
Isn’t black Friday an American thing?
