” So they would open up 24 hours and put things on sale and people would run to the stores and buy things?”
I am sure you are old enough to know that they would have limited items for sale so people did get to the stores as soon as they opened to buy out what was available. Seems very similar to me what happens for Black Friday sales. I think the analogy is valid.
Probably so. I am not old enough for that.....at least I was not interested in politics at that time.
