Been interesting watching it mutate from merely the day customers start buying gifts en masse in earnest, to a real discount & deals day, to a jack-and-drop fakeout.
- thinkingemote 5y agoThe only comment in this thread that accurately describes the origin of the name, and the reason why there are so many "non bargains". It's a day for retailers, not for consumers. It's a celebration of retailers and marketeers making profit.
