Uh I don't think so. Why don't you just move on. Apparently you have nothing to argue against what I said so of course you offer the typical response of no substance. You UK people need to calm down and stop the crying and complaining that you can't get something the U.S has. Goes on 24/7 around here.
Okay lets see what you claimed:
But I think you're missing the point. Black Friday is an After Thanksgiving sale so it's suppose to be dedicated to the U.S. If Apple allowed it to be extended outside the U.S. last year and not this year then perhaps they got flack from it. A line has to be drawn. The UK has special deal days that the U.S. doesn't have. It goes back and forth. The UK can't keep getting U.S deals when the U.S. can't get theirs.
First of all Halloween used to be only US and Santa Claus as well. Still both American cultural phenomena have become populair in Europe.
This is not uncommon. In the 30s American movies became populair in Europe and in the 40s and 50s American music became really big in Europe.
So Black Friday is only US?
Really? I let others explain it to you:
Because the world is getting global ... Nearly no one knew what Halloween was about in contintental Europe 10 tà 15 years ago ... Then some commercial hype was created around it, and it's pushed through our throats ...
Similarly, Black Friday was not really a continental Europe concept ... yet now, with Amazon and it's multiple "local" webshops, other sellers ... more and more shops start promoting Black Friday as a trigger to get you spending money ...
Where a seller decides on discounts the seller's decision; whether you postpose buying or wait for another year or so (let's admit it: rare are the ones who absolutely need NEW stuff NOW), is the buyer's action.
We had the Black Friday offers
last year, the
year before that and the
year before that.
It looks like we will probably have to wait until World AIDS Day on Monday.
No Thanksgiving, that's right. But Black Friday has been adopted outside the US, especially in Europe. There are Black Friday deals in (almost) all major online stores. And most physical stores promote some kind of Black Friday deals. Only exemption here is Apple, which had deals last year ��
Btw, there was no Halloween in Europe 15 years ago... To get together with family and enjoy each others company over a great meal, we have Christmas... ��
Oh, and before I forget: no deals in Canada I heard. That's on the same continent, last time I looked ��
So 3 years in a row we in Europe had discounts in our Apple store’s on Black Friday. When we are disappointed that this is not the case this year, for the first time isn 3 years, you come along and tell us that Black Friday is only for the US?
You behave like it is your business that some people are disappointed that something that happened for 3 year in a row is canceled without any notification or explanation from Apple.
You act as if the disappointment of other people is a personal insult to you. You come running to defend Apple like I would when a family member was being criticized.
And you do it by inventing ‘facts’ that don’t make any sense in the wider context of what really happened in Europe.
So thats why I keep saying:
Dude, you’re making this up as you go.
