Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and, as we all know, that means Black Friday, the craziest shopping day of the year is almost upon us! It's the nickname given to the Friday after Thanksgiving and the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season. Though Black Friday is commonly referred to as the busiest retail shopping day of the year, it does not always have the biggest sales volume. However, it usually ranks among the top three days in customer traffic to stores, along with the Saturday before Christmas and December 26th.
This year, Wal-Mart will keep its stores open 24 hours and take new crowd-control measures on Black Friday. Last year, at a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, NY, not far from my hometown on Long Island, an employee died on Black Friday after he was trampled to death by a mob of shoppers. Hundreds of people lined up outside the store and as soon as the doors opened, a stampede ensued and ended with one dead and four injured. This year, in addition to being opened 24 hours, Wal-Mart plans to place its hottest sale items far apart from each other to prevent crowds from gathering and avoid another stampede in the frenzy of Black Friday shopping.
Personally, I like to avoid the chaotic crowds and do my shopping around 8 or 9 AM on Black Friday, which is much less hectic than going in the afternoon or waiting for the store to open at the crack of dawn. But whenever you join the Black Friday masses, you can count on amazing deals all day long!
