Everyone wants to know why people shop Friday after thanksgiving and why people shop online Monday after Black Friday?

Black Friday - Retail Shoppers

Every year after thanksgiving, the retail store gives out huge discounts to customers in their catalog. A customer can pick up a catalog from their store as soon as they walk in or walk out. You also see ads in TV commercials from their retail store addressing the shoppers there will be a huge sale in electronic, computers, clothes etc... The Black term is when large companies can't make a profit because the price on items they sell to big retail stores have dropped tremendously on a single day. Friday is day that all the retail stores are going to open at a earlier time. People are waiting in lines or in their cars for the stores to open from midnight to 5am.

The Cyber term comes from cybernetics meaning internet users love to gain access to their computers and Monday is the day that customers use the internet to shop for super low prices.
