    I worked for a retailer for 20 years and the actual reason "Black
    Friday" is more like "Black November" is simply profits. People only
    have so much money to spend. The sooner you get their money, the
    better. Otherwise they will have spent it someplace else and you don't get any.

    True. I only spent one year in retail (1987-88!) and can attest that the busiest the store was during the Thanksgiving-New Year period was the
    weekend after Thanksgiving ("Black Friday") and then again not long before Christmas (last minute shoppers).

    The rest of the time it was only busier-enough than "normal" days to be noticed... no big crowds.

    Now the nearby Malls seemed to stay packed enough during the whole season
    to need extra traffic direction, but the stand alone box stores like I
    worked in did not.
