The very existence of black friday should piss off every consumer out there

It means that for 364 days out of the year, the prices we pay for things are way higher than they need to be for the seller to make profit.
In other words, black Friday is an admission on the part of sellers that they are artificially keeping the cost of living way too high except for a few days a year called when for some reason they decide to show that they can get by charging way less than they do.
We call those few days "sales"

Usually there are only a handful of deals meant to get you in the store to buy other crap while you're there.

You're a dumbass

OP is dumb.
They set aside some stuff to take a loss on in order to draw the crowds and make it up on other stuff sold at retail.

Ong said that major retailers, like Walmart (WMT) and Target, (TGT) have special products, like TVs or other electronics, manufactured especially for Black Friday. The prices are great, but the items are of lower quality

I sleep in on Black Friday, eat some leftovers, watch a little football, then enjoy the youtubes of brawling shoppers.

I got a TV for 60% of the price last year online, but I'll be damned if they make me pay full price for a new one in 6-8 years. Damn cost of living. Did I mention how little electricity it uses too! Damn they got me.

Ah, I love it when people go full retard.

It doesn't bother me much since I've never participated in black friday.
REI has some great marketing going against the grain. LINK /
And yeah, I plan on going camping.

Best Buy is the worst.
I'll be glad when they go the way of Blockbuster.
Last weekend I went into a Best Buy for the first time in a couple of years. They deserve to be put down. My son got a new computer that he wanted to wire to the modem and 50 ft of Ethernet cord was $40 at Best Buy. $5.99 on Amazon.
