What Will Black Friday 2020 Bring Us?

Thinking back to Black Friday 2019, so much has changed hasn’t it? We used to stroll around the shops, without really giving it a thought. This year, most of the shops are shut due to the latest lockdowns and restrictions, and when we can visit a shop for essentials, we have to wear masks and keep our distance from each other. No more stopping for a chat with friends in the aisles any more. It’s a different world we live in now and who knows when we’ll be back to the Black Friday shopping style of the past. But, we won’t let a global pandemic get in the way of us getting a bargain. Thank goodness for the Internet! Many local shops are offering click and collect services and of course there are so many fantastic online businesses, delivering your items straight to your door. It’s safe and it’s easy, so there’s no need to miss out on Black Friday this year. You can put your feet up and go shopping from the comfort of your own home. No mask required!

The true story of Black Friday

Black Friday of course originated in the US, and many people believe that the day is called Black Friday because it’s the day when shop accounts go from being in the red, to being in the black, i.e. people are out there spending money between Thanksgiving and Christmas and the shops are making a tidy profit. However, the actual story is that Black Friday refers to the stock market crash in 1869. The ‘red to black’ line was brought in to put a more positive spin on it, however efforts to rename the day Bright Friday have been attempted but it just hasn’t caught on. Now Black Friday has reached our shores, and has spread throughout the world, it’s unlikely a name change will ever happen.

We know not to drink and drive…

We all know the dangers of drink driving, but what about the dangers of drink shopping? A survey in the US reported that 12% of Black Friday shoppers are under the influence of alcohol! I reckon that’s pretty dangerous. I wonder if they wake up in the morning and regret their Black Friday ‘bargains’! Perhaps the biggest problem of online shopping is that it’s just so easy to click that ‘BUY’ button when you’re shopping at 3am, in your pyjamas.
