Yeah, so when you thought that the whole concept of Black Friday couldn't get any better it actually does. Just the idea of people hyped up from all the sugar of all those Thanksgiving pumpkin pies marching off to stores at 5:30 in the morning to get the best deal on a slow cooker gives me the heebe jeebes, but it gets worse. So I was stuck in college for Thanksgiving and I called my mom around eleven to say good night. However, she was wide awake and was saying she was going to the mall.
I at first thought that my mom had flipped her lid. I said, "mom, you should get some sleep before you hit the stores." She then told me about the new Black Friday phenomenon. She said that the store was opening at 12 midnight and staying open the whole day after. Okay, so now 5:00 in the morning just wasn't early enough for the stores, they have to now open the minute Friday begins.
My theory is that its the best way to really take advantage of shoppers. At 12 at night, no one's thinking as rationally as possible, so they're thinking "sure I need a table saw to cut the Christmas turkey," or "Yeah, I definitely need all 10 colors of that sweater." Irrational consumers equals more profit for the stores, clear as that. Just when we thought the stores couldn't think of a way to get us to spend more, they come through. Looks like a new era of "Midnight Sale" to me.
Ms. Tynan:
I am doing an exam on Music ed and one of the questions was comparing utilitarianism and child-centered ed.
I am quoting you concerning "passive when learning..." and ...Greater Social Competency..."
I will footnote and give you credit.
I hope that's OK with you and you take it as a compliment.
