Was Black Friday lacking?

While out and about looking for stocking stuffer DVDs I didn't see many people shopping. I wonder how the shops did. Was it a black Friday or more like brick brown Friday bordering on red brick Friday?

Dont trust the media when they report cumulative Black Friday sales at record highs. Biden is POTUS & election is not that far away.
I think many shoppers were sitting at home do the internet thing.
A couple of the stores I have done the 'Black Friday' sale melee' thing at didn't have an in-store BF sale this year(they phased such things out during the China flu). Last few years, it's all internet and most wasn't a great price either.
Two things: Cyber Monday is now a bigger deal, and "Black Friday" now starts the day after Halloween and goes all of November. Makes sense, since Christmas season now starts the day after Labor Day.
Media propaganda has nothing to do with truth. How many Americans have disposable income at todays prices?
I didn't go shopping. No need when when I can do the exact same thing online.
The local gun store had a 10% off sale on Saturday but they didn't have anything I wanted that was also in my price range.

I suspected the same thing when I heard that on the news. (being a political news hipe)
My E-Mail In box has had a couple pages of messages from just about every place I have browsed upon online!!
99.9% of those places have continued even today to tell me they have extended their Black Friday sales!
One of my worst nightmare's is to become BAIT for money hungry fishermen......er....salesmen!
So it wasn't just me not seeing much in the shops or customers loitering about.
Well in that case how was the cyber Monday?
I buy mag extensions from Taran Tactical every year on Black Friday.
Every year they are 50% off.
This year they were only 30% off.
Not sure if that’s because he’s all Hollywood famous or what but I decided I didn’t need any extra at that price point.
Only black Friday shopping I saw was on the news in San Franciso, & New York, & I am pretty sure none of them stopped to pay on the way out.
Why isn't being called Black Friday considered a racist day but for many White Sale days are ????? 🤔

I do all my shopping on White Wednesday.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
i did my shopping at home online
Not feeling that great but will try to post a little. Came home from spending Thanksgiving with daughter on Black Friday. Traffic on Rt28 Kingston/NYS Thruway was very light. When I got to Harriman exit traffic backed all the way to Thruway. I finally made it to the Central Valley exit and 5 troop cars had shut it down. Woodbury Commons (huge factory outlet stores) could not handle anymore. Troopers were routing cars to next exit (Monroe) and turning them around. Woodbury Commons is a little over 50 miles from NYC. The tourist love that place and the Japanese go nuts over it. Don't know if they were buying but they sure were arriving. Took me forever to get home only 4 miles away.
Meanwhile little Willie Jr. could care less, snoozing away right next to me. ------------------------------Ray
The days of Brick and Mortar stores are over. most people just order off the internet, sit home, and wait for the package to arrive. My Russian bride comes tomorrow, if anyone was interested. Wonder if they accept returns, just in case???🤔
There's 16 tons of chicken floating around out there, that would've made a very good Black Friday special. 😀

Oakie, don't even accept delivery. Most of them there Russian women are evil!!!
Some how, I got the last, best woman to come out of Russia!!! 😁
I did read gun sales on black friday set a new record over 11k more than last years good friday
Sure they were Japanese and not Chinese? As you know they look a like.
As for the Russian mail order brides do they still include free shippings on 35 and older and a case of vodka? If you drink the vodka there's no returnsies or exchanges.
My Black Friday, i did ok with a 6.5 Grendel upper from Bear Creek, to have on hand when the need be. and have ammo for it. storage for now, tho.
I'd get a box of rounds (at least) to run it to make sure there are no issue with it. Hate for you to run out of free warranty only to find out it needs money to fix.
Reminds me of the time I told my friend who bought a Kriss Vextor CRB along with me that there was a bolt issue. Dude did nothing then ended up having to fork over money for them to fix it. Then again he does work for PG&E so he got that kind a money?
