Retail workers face:
Verbal harassment
Long hours
No breaks
unsafe crowd conditions
“Mandatory availability” regardless of family plans
All so corporations can brag about “record sales.” so they can go by that useless boat or a car. While
workers don’t benefit, they suffer.

Not many people know this.
They do it because they want less competition with “new purchases.”
They delay parts until January it increases holiday spending this forces people to buy replacements instead of repairing older products.

In retail psychology this is called social proof pressure ( For Fallout 76 players, herd mentality 😁) .If you see a crowd grabbing TVs, your brain automatically thinks “Maybe I should get one too.” corporations count on this herd behavior.

These hikes are strategic built to make the holiday discount look bigger than it is.

The whole system is structured so the seller wins, not the customer
They clear old products
They make record profits
They get free marketing from news reports
They create a false sense of tradition
They turn shopping into an emotional event.

The REAL discounts are usually in January (post-holiday clearance) early spring (new models replace old ones)
End-of-quarter sales
Black Friday is the illusion of the best deal not the reality and people die and got trampled on for cheap merchandise.

Black Friday makes people
Run up credit cards
Take on payment plans
Use store credit
Start the holiday season already in debt
A “deal” doesn’t help if you’re paying interest on it for the next 6 months.

There are 4 units in the whole store.But bait people in with the fantasy of getting one.
Once you're inside:
You buy something else,settle for a slightly more expensive,
Or you feel like you “shouldn’t leave empty-handed”

Psychology flips the logic
You feel rewarded because you “saved $100,”
So your brain says “well I can spend a little more…”
Black Friday turns into a spending trap, not actual savings.

Retailers prey on fear of missing out “Only 5 left!”
“Today only!” “Deal ends in 3 hours!” This pushes people to buy
And most of the time, the “deal” is worse than just waiting for a normal sale later.

Retailers raise the original “list price” weeks before, then drop it back down and call it a deal.
So the customer feels like they “won,”
when in reality they paid what the item normally costs the rest of the year.

It’s a day that became a mask a soft, friendly cover thrown over brutality.
And it doesn't mean not to gather and feast with each other, but let's not pretend
that it is a day of gratitude.

grief,silence,memory
stories that were never allowed to be told ancestors whose suffering was erased or mocked
This is not a holiday.
That’s generational gaslighting.

Build wealth on top of your grave
And centuries later, say “But be grateful for what you have.”
🤣 part of cover-up culture
and is the same logic an abuser uses on a victim. “Look what I’ve given you. Never mind what I took.”
