Black Friday


This past Friday known to consumers around America as Black Friday marked the start of this holiday's shopping season. As usual, the day seemed as horrible as it sounds, and this shopping season is only expected to be marginally better than last season's (which was the worst in about two decades).

In effect, stores took desperate measures to ensure that their consumer's buying craze didn't fall short. Department stores such as Kohl's and Macy's opened far before the sun rose on Friday morning to cater to the early birds desperate for good deals on electronics and gifts.

The strangest effect? Macy's offered boxes of snack's to shoppers...to ensure that their nutrition and energy was up to par for shopping madness.
