At a toy store on Black Friday, there was a popular new action figure that everyone was after. A young boy and his father were in line to get it. When they finally reached the counter, the father realized he had left his wallet in the car. The boy's face was priceless. But then the store manager, seeing the boy's disappointment, decided to give the action figure to the boy for free. The boy's excitement and the father's relief were so comical that it became a great Black Friday story.
One year on Black Friday, a store had a huge display of discounted TVs. As soon as the doors opened, two guys ran towards it. But in their haste, they didn't notice a big box in the aisle. They tripped over it and landed right in front of the TV display. Instead of getting angry, they started laughing so hard that everyone around them joined in.
I remember a Black Friday at a clothing store. There was a massive sale on winter coats. A woman was trying on a really large coat. She was so focused on looking at herself in the mirror that she didn't realize she had put her arm through the wrong sleeve. When she walked out to show her friend, she looked like a big, puffy monster. Her friend burst out laughing, and soon the whole section was filled with laughter.
There was a man who wanted to buy a new laptop. He saw a great deal and rushed to the counter. When the cashier rang it up, he realized he left his wallet at home. He was so embarrassed. He had to call his wife to bring it while everyone in line was chuckling.
One story from Black Friday 2016 was about a small local store. They had a special deal on handmade sweaters. People lined up outside the store early in the morning. The owner was so happy to see the long queue as it showed the community's support for local business.
Here's another one. A church was having a Good Friday service. The choir was supposed to sing a very solemn song. But the lead singer accidentally started singing the wrong song which was a really upbeat and funny tune. Everyone in the church was so shocked at first, but then they couldn't help but chuckle. The choir quickly recovered and continued with the proper service, but that moment of confusion added a bit of unexpected humor to the day.
One horror story is about a shopper who got trampled in the rush for a big - screen TV. People were so eager to get the deal that they didn't notice the person had fallen. Another is a woman who had her wallet stolen while waiting in a long checkout line. She was distracted by the chaos around her and when she reached for her wallet to pay, it was gone. And there was also a store where the shelves collapsed under the weight of people trying to grab items all at once, causing minor injuries to several shoppers.
I heard a story where a customer waited in line for hours outside a store on Black Friday. When the store finally opened, the item they wanted was already gone due to some internal mismanagement. They were so frustrated after waiting for so long in the cold.
A story could be about a man who found a super - cheap high - end laptop. He had been saving for months to buy one. But on Black Friday 2018, he got it at a fraction of the original price. He was over the moon.
There was a case where a family got separated in the Black Friday crowds. The parents were looking for their young child for hours. The child was terrified, lost among all those strangers. It shows how easily things can go wrong on such a busy shopping day. The family was finally reunited, but it was a very harrowing experience for them.
Well, there was a time when a store's inventory system crashed on Black Friday. Customers were grabbing items, but the registers couldn't ring them up properly. Some people had to leave their carts full of items they thought they were getting at a great deal, only to be disappointed. Also, employees often have to deal with really rude customers during this time. They get yelled at for things out of their control, like running out of a popular item.
One horror story could be about overcrowded stores. People were pushing and shoving to get to the best deals. There were long queues outside stores hours before opening. Some people got trampled in the rush. It was a chaotic and terrifying scene.
A great story could be that of a small local business that had its best sales day ever on Black Friday 2018. They had put a lot of effort into their marketing and had some unique products. People flocked to their store, and they were able to hire more staff in the following weeks due to the success.
