But how come there's not a white Friday huh? Answer me that!
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
Black refers to finances. The day a lot of stores go back into the black, instead of being in the red, or taking losses.
My wife works at a Topsys popcorn, which is contractually obligated to stay open during weekdays even though it's at loss (due to their location, similar to a mall), but they make that money back on the weekends.
I think the closest thing Australia has to your Black Friday is an online sale called Click Frenzy, which is probably also an American thing. It's not all thaaaaaaat popular from what I can tell.
guynietoren, I'd actually never thought about the opening hours contracts shopping centres might have. The weekends really must be busy! Or weekday overheads really must be low to make losses as small as possible, one of the two.

Yeah she worked at a dead mall once. It was just odd to me to pay someone to work all day and not make enough profit to support them there.
She later mentioned that the store was only still at the mall because of the huge storage space that comes with it. But she's at a more profitable location now down at the Kansas City Plaza.
I wonder if Click Frenzy is similar to Cyber Monday. Which is the Monday after Thanksgiving where there's a lot of online sales.

I am also curious as to why Aro left so suddendly!!!!
But he didn't. Well, he did, but he came back. He also visited where I live with a couple of friends, check Moddb or our site (ti.ppmsite.com) to see our group-o-photo!
