I once got a really great deal on a laptop during Black Friday. I had been eyeing it for months, but it was always too expensive. On Black Friday, I saw it was discounted by 40%. I got to the store early and there was already a long line. But it was so worth it when I finally walked out with my new laptop.
Well, some shoppers had the experience of finding rare items on sale. They were lucky enough to get limited - edition products at a great price. It was like a treasure hunt for them.
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.
I once went Black Friday shopping with my family. We targeted a furniture store. The discounts were amazing. We were looking for a new sofa. There were so many people that we had to wait for a long time to get assistance. But in the end, we got a beautiful sofa at a very low price. It was a long day but worth it. The whole family was excited about our new furniture.
Sure. One time, a man was so eager to get a big - screen TV on Black Friday. He ran into the store, grabbed the box, but didn't notice it was just an empty display box left there by mistake. He went all the way to the checkout counter before realizing his blunder and everyone around had a good laugh.
I heard about someone who camped out overnight in front of a store to be the first to get a limited - edition gaming console. They were so dedicated. When the store opened, they rushed in and got it. They said it was like winning a lottery.
Sure. A friend of mine had a great experience on Black Friday 2017. He managed to get a really cheap gaming console. He said that he just walked into the store at the right time as they had just restocked. It was like a lucky break for him.
Yes. One story is about a website crashing on Black Friday. A customer had filled their cart with all the items they wanted at great discounts. But when they went to check out, the site crashed. By the time it was back up, all the items were out of stock or the discounts had expired.
Many employees mentally prepare themselves before Black Friday. They know it's going to be crazy, so they go in with a positive attitude. They might think of the day as a challenge rather than a nightmare. In my experience as a Black Friday employee at an electronics store, I told myself that every difficult customer was just a test of my patience and customer service skills. And when I started looking at it that way, the stress seemed more manageable.
