OK something different lol
Can anyone tell me why the sales day today is called black friday ?
without googling ( cheats )![]()
Sure can
It's actually quite interesting
It's called black friday because in accounting, being in loss is marked with a red pen, and when you go into profit, it's in a black pen. The day after thanksgiving is black friday as most shops 'wrote in the black pen' as they turned over into profit for the first time in the year. It's basically just a marketing strategy now to get people hyped about Christmas.
Hense the name black friday. You're welcome
lol im going to have to say thats a myth regarding the prophit margin and black pen although very alot of people think this , dont ask me why i know this because i havent the foggiest. It actually makes sense why its a myth because since when as accountants used pens ? everything is electronicly done via internet banking and so forth and account tool via computersand has been for ages
You obvious saying that this goes back to the old days of pen and paper which i am uncertain of the origin of it just know why for some random reason.![]()
When I say red pen and black pen, I just meant red and black font, that can be on computer or not, but that's pretty much where it came from.
I heard somewhere it was because the traffic is so bad on the day after thanksgiving as everyone starts to prepare for Christmas and that loads of accidents/crashes happen so it's 'black' friday, as I guess it relates to bad things or death. But that doesn't really make much sense. But that's just... Not likely to be true
yeah that what i have... not sure it being about death and accidents but on the day it all began there was that much congestion on the roads that it caused a dark cloud to form over the massive area which is why the named it black friday hence a black cloud of exchust fumes and stuff. I usually find that there is usually the truth behind things when things are simple. Black cloud of fumes does seem plauseable rather than ink the reason to name something. also i would;nt class retailers going into profit a base to call it black friday as this would be agood thing for them not bad
was fun anyway , cant say for sure just think i am right lol
quiz masters are always right even if they are wrong
Lol my misses has just come home from work and shes the manager for one of the pandora chains.. she says its been choco blocka and that people have been in asking all day about black friday sales but they dont do any and people have been kicking off lol. Also she heard that there was riots in tescos and coppers called because of people queue hopping and fights braking out. How stupid dont they realise there is only a few slaes items in stock and they get ther sales off the 20% percent off things and not the stupidly reduced items they have about 2 in total of.

I was going to say 'only in America' but the UK has been hit again with the fighting in malls vibe.Originally Posted by JolanXBL Go to original post
Don't they know Fusion was down 50% and they could have been at home getting their rage on instead of buying a crap tele? Idiots.
lol went into asda late on and there was tv sound bars in the sale didnt say what original price was just 50 squid on it. People were still buying them when i realised they was the same one they had last week in a different isle at the exact same price. Its mostly a con i cant understand how peopl fall for it 1000s queue up for maybe 2 items that are a bargin lol
