Oh no I'm sorry about exporting Black Friday. It's a horrible blend of greed disguised as "giving."
It is the busiest shopping day of the year or the start of the Christmas shopping season.

It seems to have caught on in Europe, as I've receive e mails from John Lewis and even French on-line merchants who are offering huge discounts today.

Walmart on Black Friday: Scenes from the apocalypse
I didn't watch the videos, but I read the tweets. And lolled.
^LOL. That is exactly what it looks like. Tears swelled up in my eyes the first year I worked retail on Black Friday. Seeing that crowd pounding on the doors like that scared the **** outta me. I knew that the second those doors were unlocked that crazy crowd would be storming right towards me.

Some US retail analysts say, that that the biggest shopping day of this year was on Thanksgiving.
My daughter had a terrible experience in the mall she works in yesterday. She sells expensive sunglasses, and had a group of about 8 young men come in and surround her, yelling stuff, while others were going to steal. (You can put $10,000 worth of glasses in your pocket in a minute there.) Luckily one of her friends from Macys, a tall guy, came running in, and another employee called security.
My daughter was really shaken up; she's worked there almost 2 years and doesn't want to even go back. The group was from another country (the mall is close to the international airport, so they often get shoppers from overseas) and not being able to understand some of what they said was very unsettling. What they did say in English was shocking, very sexually violent.
They didn't steal anything and weren't caught, but security has them on video (really reassuring).
