Black Friday is named, because traditional retailers actually become profitable for the year on this day...Hence the term Black.
I never really understood promoting loss leaders in order to sell a client something else. How can people be loyal to a store one day a year?
Of course this year has granted me fresh perspective. I bought my share of "Black Friday" specials. I would buy them year round, but they were only offered last Wednesday. What I did not count on is the lack of actual delivery.
Have a look:
Bosch Dishwasher Black and White $299
125 ordered 23 Received
Bosch Stainless Dishwasher $399
250 ordered 40 Received
Frigidaire Affinity Washer $399
250 ordered 40 received
Pretty infuriating....
Wow ... dare I say the ugly word .... rationing?
