black friday bitching

The practice of claiming that you are disgusted with Black Friday - particularly the recent new practice of starting Black Friday on Thanksgiving evening - but still going to stores and giving the companies your money on that day. Common practices include telling cashiers how sorry and appalled you are about the decline of values, while he or she rings up the merchandise that you *chose* to purchase on this day.

Cashier: "Hello. How are you?"
Mike: "Wow. I just can't believe that corporations would pull people like you away from their families on what is supposed to be Thanksgiving! I'm sorry you have to work today!"
( places two iPods, six Blu-Ray movies, ten new pairs of jeans, and a small television onto the register belt )
Cashier: "Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if not for all of the hypocritical Black Friday bitching."

Singapore Black Friday

An imported American sales event that lures budget-conscious Singaporeans to move beyond window shopping into buying crap they don’t need at discounted prices, which could serve as some kind of stress therapy for overworked or unhappy workers.

From Halloween to Valentine’s Day to Singapore Black Friday, local businesses never fail to leverage on the attractions of foreign festivals, holidays, or events to profiteer from gullible citizens.
