The original term \u201dBlack Friday\u201d came into use in the 1950s by police officers in Philadelphia. They used this term because of the amount of people and chaos in the city in advance to a football game, as opposed to what we know as a shopping spree. It wasn\u2019t untill the late 1980s when the term and holiday came into use around the nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone has heard a horrific story about Black Friday. On people.com they have stories written like, \u201cWhen I worked at Walmart, we had a fight break out over a bike. Fists were thrown and there was some blood. Eventually, one guy got ahold of it and managed to get away from the crowd. He rode the bike out of the store (without paying).\u201d We don\u2019t hear as many crazy Black Friday stories anymore. Ever since covid-19 people would rather stay in. Most stores now have online stores which also factors into the removal of crazy in person shopping. Many places have \u201dcyber Monday\u201d sales that are more popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked what she does during Black Friday Leah Burnheimer<\/strong>, a cosmetology student, replied with, \u201cIt\u2019s quite a hectic time. There are lots of people and is very crazy, but there are really good deals.\u201d Trinity Thompson<\/strong>, a cosmetology student, was asked the same question but answered with, \u201cIt is definitely a lot different from what it used to be. Not as many people go now, even Ross Park didn\u2019t have as many people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n As everyone knows, Black Friday is one of the craziest times of the year. There are predictions that mobile shopping will take over more. Online shopping would be great to keep us safe from physical and health harms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Indigo Bowser The day after Thanksgiving is always an interesting time.
