Road Runner Posted November 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2018 "A black day" connotes a feeling of doom, a day when bad things happen. I would be more likely to participate if they called it "Green Friday". Most everything green is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's weird too as you would think it would be green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted November 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 23, 2018 I am surprised that there is not some outcry that is racist and demand that the name be changed to something that is more politically correct. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big discounts = increased volume of sales even at lower margins equals black. Win win. Taking part in the madness for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think most shoppers think this way. A better name would be something like, "Discounts up the Kazoo Friday", or "Cheap as Hell Friday". Something like that. Something that hits the potential shopper over the head with the concept, not some vague reference to the stores financial condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black definitely sounds bad, not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
