A shopping frenzy
In the past, there have been stories of eager shoppers camping out in front of their favorite stores for whole days before they open for Black Friday. The deals that you can get your hands on can result in you saving hundreds or thousands of dollars. The phenomenon has spread to the UK and into mainland Europe.
Spare a thought for those on duty through the “mass chaos” of that fateful Friday. It would be bad enough being on the checkouts during the mayhem, but being in charge of keeping order in the parking lot full of cars and panicking shoppers is definitely not my idea of a nice job.
