    I went to Walmart this morning, and I was expecting a lot of people, but for my surprise it was almost dead, pallets full of electronics and nobody really cares about the "deals"

      I think COVID woke up a lot of people to realize what the priorities are, and furthermore with high fuel/oil prices and consumer inflation, people are simply getting what they need, not what they want.

    I don't think Black Friday is dead I think it's getting more safer with technology people are realizing that they can shop online get free shipping and make it a more easier process than spending the night outside of a parking lot and then dealing with the crowds being violent and all of that so I'm actually kind of glad to see this new change because if it's a lot more safer for people cuz your life is not worth losing over a flat screen TV

      Was searching for a comment like this: Black Friday deals are supposed to be deals that companies can only afford to provide one, maybe two days (Cyber Monday) a year. This is the reason why people used to camp outside and pitch tents in the mall parking lots. This "Black Friday Week/Month" is the reason why all the sales are so low/dead and comapnies are trying to convince us that this is better..

    The issue with Black Friday is the product content. It is often not regular stock but a specially prepared and priced shipper that the store only carries one time. They sell off what they can and either send back or dump the rest. The retail shopper is starting to catch on to these deal shortcuts.

    Black Friday: Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, Barbie's, Big Screen TV's, and a host of other items that you could maybe get lucky and snag one, were some of the drivers of BF. Now you get deals all year long and TV's esp. are so cheap that there is no way to discount them to attract hordes of people. I never went out when BF was in full swing, but I've gone out the last 3-4 years and it's deadsville at the mall anymore. The internet has hastened the demise of BF, and it doesn't look like it will ever come back like it once was.
