Where Did "Black Friday" Come From?
It starts shortly after your Thanksgiving dinner. It starts when you are waiting in line at 3 a.m., swallowing large amounts of coffee to counteract the turkey induced tryptophan. It starts when the store's doors open at a ridiculously early hour and masses of people flood into it, seeking the biggest discounts of the year. This isn't a sale, it's mass hysteria, and it doesn't go away for an entire month. It's the biggest, most intense, most brutal and most rewarding shopping day of the year. It's the official start of Christmas season. It is simply referred to as Black Friday. This infamous day falls on November 25th this year, are you ready?
The term Black Friday can be traced back to the middle 20th century, it is a term that was made popular by retail employees. A somewhat negative connotation was used for the day because it was the hardest, most intense retail-working day of the year. While their families were enjoying a day off, retail employees were getting ready to deal with a non-stop mass of shoppers. The term gained has game famed with everyone as even shoppers can dread the day, knowing that an early wakeup call is required and the entire day will be spent competing, fighting and jockeying for position when it comes to the amazing, once-a-year sales that happen on this day.
