Actually they call today Black Friday. Sounds like a stock market crash or something. I never heard the term until I got into retail. It is supposed to indicate that the day after Thanksgiving is the day when retailers go into the black for the year. Because everybody knows its the biggest retail day of the year, right? Well, sorta. It’s the biggest day of the year for the biggest retailers. The big box stores and big mall stores do pretty well today. But your local independent retailers have to wait until shoppers get fed up with big crowds and indifferent service. Then they come back to stores like Signs of Life where you get reasonable prices and great service from people who care. We’re getting harder and harder to find. I wonder why that is?
