July 15: The New Black Friday?

Looks like more companies are having their own sale during Amazon’s Prime Day. Target and eBay are included. I wouldn’t be surprised if more companies jump on the bandwagon next year. Great for consumers I guess, but how do people working at the companies feel about getting ready for yet another big sale? And if you plan on shopping, where would you choose? My vote is Amazon. Sorry Walmart. 😅 https://mashable.com/shopping/prime-day-target-ebay/

I think one Black Friday per year is enough, IMO.

Amazon prestige🧐 Jul 1, 2019

When corporations hit peak form, every day will be black friday.

Then none of the days will be Black Friday

I used to work in retail management and during Black Friday, stores would become a shit show. I've wondered what it's like for e-commerce companies without brick and mortar stores. I'm sure prepping for and even monitoring these events can be time consuming and stressful, just in a different way.

Can confirm that it is very time consuming and stressful.

Probably doesn’t compare to warehouse workers.

Just shop at AliExpress. Everything is sourced from there anyway

At the end of the day, even during Black Friday / Prime Day retailers still make money. A lot of. You think consumers are getting a good deal... I feel retailers get a better one ;)

eBay CAG5OS Jul 1, 2019

True, retailers also gain from the sales but what about the employees who actually have to carry out the work?

You mean these online Black Primedays are full of transactions in which both sides come out ahead? What madness is this? ;-)

Amazon patchit Jul 1, 2019

Who cares. If we get actual deals, great. And why would you only limit yourself to Amazon just because you feel some loyalty to them? I promise you, Amazon doesn't feel the same loyalty to you. Whoever has the best deals, buy from them. If you actually want their junk, that is.

Amazon QLLw43 Jul 1, 2019

What are you talking about? I'm 100% customer obsessed. In fact just the other day I had to mow a prime members lawn to show my commitment.

Amazon patchit Jul 1, 2019

I took a 💩 on that same lawn to ensure it was fertilized

This country has a difficult time keeping it's money in it's pocket. Then they blame the whole world for their problems

You just described capitalism in a nutshell

LinkedIn CarpetCog Jul 1, 2019

Someone has a very distorted understanding of the word "capitalism".

Microsoft AxeCapital Jul 1, 2019

Not even a little
