The Videos Are In: US Shoppers Go Wild, Beat Each Other Up To Celebrate Black Friday Sales

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's Black Friday which means the US is flooded with videos of its favorite pastime: mauls in the malls, as vicious brawls and fights break out among total strangers across across America's countless retail outlets.

The first videos trickle in:

 

And yet, this year there may be a shift.

Moments ago IBM Watson Trend released the latest Thanksgiving online sales which rose 26% from 2014, with mobile traffic reaching nearly 60% of all online traffic, an increase of 14.8% over 2014. According to IBM, consumers spent $123.45/order with 40% of all online sales came from mobile devices, an increase of 24% over Thanksgiving 2014.

Some other notable findings:

  • Smartphones accounted for 47% of all Thanksgiving online traffic vs tablets at 13.7%; smartphones also surpassed tablets in sales, driving 24% of online sales vs tablets at 16%
  • IBM Watson predicts Black Friday online sales up more than 14.5% y/y
  • Consumers indicate top products incl. Apple Watch, Samsung, Sony, LG TVs, Microsoft Surface Pro 4

And while this is good news for the Amazons of the world as consumers continue to migrate to online shopping platforms, this is bad news for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers for whom today was supposed to be the one day when sales are solidly in the "black."

As Bloomberg summarizes, the online rush comes as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Macy’s Inc. and other chains roll out their Black Friday specials, aiming to get more shoppers into stores. About 135.8 million Americans are expected to shop in stores or online over the four-day weekend, according to the National Retail Federation, the largest U.S. retail trade organization. The amount they’ve spent has declined over the past two years, dropping 11 percent to $50.9 billion in 2014.

Though consumers are benefiting from lower fuel prices and unemployment rates, retailers have their challenges. Mall traffic is in the midst of a long-term slowdown, and shoppers are spending more on experiences and less on stuff. More recently, a warm autumn has curtailed sales of seasonal merchandise, leaving stores with excess inventory. All those factors point to a need for heavy discounting -- good for consumers, but not so great for retailers’ profits.

 

From the perspective of the amount of discounting that’s going on, the over-inventory situation, it seems like there are going to be a lot of great deals in the next 45 days,” said Bob Drbul, a retail analyst at Nomura Securities International.

The NRF’s traffic forecast represents a 1.6 percent increase from last year although in a zero-sum market, "there’s a risk that fewer shoppers than expected may show up." Last year, the NRF had forecast 140.1 million consumers would hit stores and e-commerce sites, 4.8 percent more than actually turned out, according to its post-weekend shopping survey. Expect more of the same as the transition to online shopping accelerates.

Furthermore increasingly more stores are pulling back on their Thanksgiving weekend hours this year and electing to spread more of their specials throughout the month. Wal-Mart said it expects record crowds on Friday, even though it’s putting most of its discounts online first.

So videos of the occasional brawl the best evidence of the demise of traditional retailer comes from in person "channel checks" such as what  TheStreet's correspondent Brian Sozzi has been doing all night. Here are some of his "ghost town" findings.

I've seen a few of those videos of guys offering 1 oz gold coins for $25/$50.

Seriously - some clown you have never met before comes up to you on the street, and offers you a Maple Leaf or a Kruggerrand for $50, and you'd take the deal?

Unless you happen to have your portable assay kit handy - and I can't remember how many times I've left mine in my other jeans - how can you tell what's offered from a gold-plated tungsten disk?

If it was a reputable coin store offering the deal, I'd be all over it, but some random street dude? That's when the "If it sounds too good to be true.." kicks in.

There is one where he standing across the street from a coin store and he makes the offer for them to go in and have it appraised. Not takers as I recall.  Fuck me...I would have rolled into the store. Even if it was a con at the store to boot I would have coughed up the $50.  If somebody is going to go to that much trouble ot fuck me out of $50...hey they deserve it.

Racer, good tag. I actually started watching my spending long ago. I now pride myself in how little I can spend, rather than how much crap I have.

I routinely can go days without spending any money. I call them NoSpendMondays, NoSpendTuesdays, etc.

I consider it a personal challenge to spend nothing for as long as possible. It allows one time for introspection, maybe even some reading, saves on gas, nourishes the soul.

I'm planning a NoSpendWeek for mid-February. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll probably be snowed in for most of it.

I'm spending Black Friday celebrating the fact that I'm old, white and somewhat educated.

Me and a friend are working on snowblowers - getting them ready for winter - and chain saws. Then we plan on cutting up a few dead trees.

My Christmas wish is for horrible Black Friday sales, good Saturday sales at local stores, and an overall trend of decline for the holiday "shopping season."

Consumer culture has reached far beyond peak abnormality. Fuck the corporations and their congressional enablers.

The true meaning of Christmas: long forgotten. Pretty fucking sad, our once great nation.

Louisville figures. The last time I was in Louisville some bugged out stoned idiot kept trying to get into my motel room. Kept waking me up. I opened the door and told him he had the wrong room and he tried to come in. I locked the door so he proceeded to beat it in. I told him I was calling the cops through the door and did. They never even showed up or responded.

After about a hour of this I told him if I have to open this door again he was not going to like it. He came back again beating it, trying to break it down. I opened the door  to try to tell him to leave and he immediately threw a Nolan Ryan fast ball full can of beer at my head. That was it. I had enough and proceeded to beat him to a bloody pulp.

He started begging me to quit on the ground. I gave him a couple of good ass kicking stomps more and when inside and called 911 again and told the worthless police force to not bother will an officer go ahead and send an ambulance. Then about 30 minutes latter the cops showed up and the guy had crawled off somewhere and they wanted to ask me a bunch of questions. Asked me when was the last time I seen him.  I told them the last time I seen him he was where that blood puddle is on the parking lot and Im going to bed. All this at 3-4 o'clock in the freaking morning. That was back in my pipeliner days. I had to go to work an hour later with no sleep and cound not even hold my welding rod stinger from beating on his hard coconut head the next day.

SHITHOLE. with shithole people and police. Never again.

Hollywood Jews such as Director J. J. Abrams are enjoying themselves destroying the United States using “the need for diversity in movie roles” to misrepresent the face of the nation.

The site you cite, The New Observer, has a related “diversity” story that shows just how effective they have been:  “Nonwhites commit 92 percent of all violent crime in New York City, and are responsible for 98 percent of all shootings, 91 percent of all firearm arrests, 88 percent of all drug arrests, 84 percent of all stolen property arrests, and 88 percent of all misdemeanor sexual offenses, the city’s police department has reported.”

It states: “According to the NYPD report, nonwhites committed 94 percent of all murders, 91 percent of all rapes, 94 percent of all robberies, and 91 percent of felonious assaults. These four categories make up the officially classified definition of ‘violent crime.’"

http://newobserveronline.com/new-york-nonwhites-commit-92-of-violent-crime/

NOTE: "The NYPD report...apparently for the first time, made corrections to its racial classification reports. Previously, like the FBI and other enforcement agencies across the US, the NYPD used to class all Hispanic crime in with the “white” figures the latest report has stripped the figures down to include a 'white non-Hispanic' category."

Greater NYC is 32.8% “White Non-Hispanic" --

down to some 2,733,605 individuals of the total population of 8,336,697.

I do not watch Hollywood or TV shit.  I saw something on the web that JJ Abrams as a child helped out on Star Wars (the first one).  My guess is his dad was probably some studio head that George Lucas begged for money.  I am sure the new Star Wars will be total shit but will sell tons of tickets.  The first one was cute and very well down except sappy endings.  The rest were total garbage.

Lucas, Milius and a few others were the junior directors Coppola had working in his group way back in Coppola's company.  Warner Brothers funded them and they all worked out of San Fran.  Coppola hated Hollywood.  Lucas was somewhat of a sell out.

Exactly, Freddie. The investment bankers underwrite the films and thereby underwrite the message and the destruction of the culture.

Here’s how Erle Stanley Gardner ‘s fictional district attorney, Doug Selby, put it in “The D.A. Calls It Murder” (copyright 1937):

“The motion picture industry is financed by banks controlled by men who have a lot of political influence…If I try to link Shirley Arden (a Hollywood star) with that murder, either directly or indirectly, I’ll be fighting the interests of some of the biggest bankers and financiers in the country.  I’ll be bucking politicians who have not only a state but a national influence.  And I’ll be advertising myself as a sucker.  The thing’s got to be fought out by a slow, dogged, persistent campaign.” Copyright 1937

To end Hollywood corruption, end the Fed - the ultimate source of Hollywood financing.

Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole called LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking Time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

And some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will 'cause
I sure could use a vacation from this

STUPID shit, silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim. [x3]

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim. [x9]

Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim. [x9]

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim. [x8]

Fuck smiley glad-hands,
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim. [x8]

'Cause I'm praying for rain;
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom, please, flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it come down.
Bring it down.Suck it down.Flush it down.

Awesome.  Just goes to show how low Americans have evolved.  Freakin animals.  All for what.  A dumb ass TV. 

These videos get more violent each year.  Next up, stabbings and shootings?

I have more net worth in my pocket than colletively all of those proles.  Disturbing.  Whatever happened to compassion, honesty, integrity.  Taking a lead from their low life jungle commander I suppose.  Starts at the top.  Sad day America.

In that second video, the first incident was obviously staged.  Some of that stuff was just typical thug fighting they do every day anyway.  Seems forced this year.  I think sales are bad.

yeah. and in the secnd one two women are fight over three boxes while a pallet full lays knocked over on the floor. i think some of those people would fight over a sack of shit if there was a camera rolling.

 

when brick and mortar finally dies they have only themselves and the msm to blame. watching this stupid shit on television makes decent folk stay home.

My wife got a coupon for $100 off a $100 purchase at JC Penney.

I'm not joking.

Is JC Penney trying to be Amazon and not make a profit?

Sure they will be able to claim their "sales" increased, but if you are giving your inventory away for free, of course people are going to maul your stores.

My Wal-Mart was totally empty of shoppers this morning.  They had plenty of their Black Friday stuff still available for sale.  I then decided to go to my local Staples to get some paper for my laser jet.  500 sheets of paper for 1 cent after rebate.  That's a pretty good deal.  Unfortunately, when I got to my local Staples store, I found out it was recently closed.  I guess it's a sign of the times.
