    I’m from the UK and companies keep trying to make Black Friday a thing over here and every time they fail. It’s quite wonderful to see the January announcements that they’ve learned their lesson and won’t be trying that again.

      It’s a thing online… Black Friday week still happens, where they try to get rid of the tat that didn’t sell to clear space for christmas shopping.

      Physical stores have basically given up I think.

        I remember ASOS bragging a long while back that their architecture was able to sustain the influx of orders while other websites had to institute a queueing system to let customers in.
