I saw an estimate that when you include inflation the Black Friday sales were down not 11% but 20%. I think that the first full year of Obamacare rates had sucked the wind out of the economy. Many didn’t buy that new car, refrigerator or dry good. They don’t have the money. Next year will be worse.
I think people are going back to shopping normally. The Black Friday Sales just weren't there.
And folks are sick of the "they're all gone" an hour after the store opens.
Not too many folks who don't already have what they need.
Black Friday has seen its' day.
