The consumer boom of Black Friday or Black (and not Good) Friday that has been established in recent years in crisis-ridden Greece is approaching, although in some cases it has already begun.
Black Friday is a purely American concept that has been adopted by many other countries. It is the day after Thanksgiving , which falls on a Thursday. 
Black Friday marks the start of holiday sales in all stores in the US, and is characterized by discounts and, of course, very large profits for merchants. It is an institution that began in the 1960s in the US, and concerns the last Friday of November each year.
In recent years, it has spread to many European countries, including: England, Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Austria, Finland, Poland and of course Greece could not be missing.
Black Friday was named after the color of the ink used by accountants to record the huge profits of the holiday season.
Meanwhile, Black Friday is nothing more than an advertising campaign and a marketing followed by large and small businesses, or to put it better, all businesses that have the financial means for advertising.
It should be mentioned that in addition to merchants and internet scammers (reference below), a large share of the profit pie also goes to the Media.
So we acquired another "custom" that targets the money left in our pockets, after paying taxes and bank fees.
Although Black Friday is a relatively new phenomenon in Greece, domestic companies seem to have studied very well the tricks of foreign companies, which have been involved in the “sport” for years
On this particular day, you will see a variety of things besides the hustle and bustle outside stores: from misleading discounts to an increase in spam emails that aim to steal your personal data, or quite simply your pocket.
According to the Independent, half of the Black Friday deals in Britain, especially on electrical goods, are misleading, with product prices differing little or nothing from the previous day.
On Black Friday we will see the well-known “buy two get one free” or “buy 100”, big headlines on sites, advertisements and storefronts that start with “Hurry up”, “Unbelievable”, “Shocking.”
The main goal is to get the customer into the store, from there the salesperson or the display window itself takes over.
Black Friday or any Black Friday comes to reinforce the idea that everything is going well.
Happy Black Friday, just think about how you're excluding yourself from being ripped off by merchants..
