Well, let me tell ya ’bout that Walmart Black Friday thingy from back in 2014. Folks was goin’ crazy for it, just like they always do for a good sale.
Walmart’s Black Friday ad in 2014, lemme tell ya, it was a big deal. Everybody was talkin’ about it. They had these things called “events,” three of ’em! Can you believe it? Three times the chaos! The first one started at 6:00 pm on Thanksgiving night. Lord, I don’t know why they gotta start sellin’ stuff when folks should be eatin’ turkey and pie.
Now, they had this ad, see? It was all over the place. They even put it right there on their website, so folks could see what kinda deals they were gonna have. Some folks had trouble seein’ it though, all them little pictures and words. My eyes ain’t what they used to be, I tell ya.
They had all sorts of stuff on sale. TVs, them game thingies for the kids, and even them fancy kitchen doohickeys. Oh, and them Xbox One things, the ones that come with them assassin games. My grandson, he was all about them games. He kept pesterin’ me to get him one, but I told him, “Boy, you got enough toys!”
Walmart, they was one of them big stores that put out their ads early. They wanted everyone to know what they were sellin’. Smart, I guess. Gets folks all riled up and ready to spend their money.
- TVs: Big ones, small ones, all sorts of prices. I don’t know why folks need such big TVs, but they sure do like ’em.
- Game Consoles: Like I said, them Xbox things. And them PlayStations too. Kids these days, always wantin’ the latest gadgets.
- Kitchen Stuff: Pots, pans, mixers, all that fancy stuff. I got my old pots and pans, they work just fine.
- Toys: For the little ones. Dolls, trucks, all that kinda stuff. Kids get too many toys, if you ask me.
Now, they had this thing called a “doorbuster” sale. That means you gotta get there early, or you ain’t gonna get nothin’. And they said they had a guarantee, that they’d have enough stuff for at least an hour. But I don’t know, some folks still couldn’t get what they wanted. Always too many people, not enough stuff.
I remember hearin’ folks talkin’ about it at the diner. “Did you see that Walmart ad?” they’d say. “Gonna get me a new TV!” Or, “Gotta get there early for them game thingies!” It was the talk of the town, I tell ya.
That Black Friday, it was a zoo. People pushin’ and shovin’, tryin’ to get the best deals. I stayed home, myself. Ain’t worth gettin’ trampled for a cheap TV. I’d rather watch my old shows on my old TV and keep my bones intact.
Walmart sure did make a big fuss about that Black Friday sale in 2014. They wanted everyone to come and spend their money. And you know what? A lot of folks did. They filled up their carts with all sorts of stuff. Some of it they probably didn’t even need, but that’s how it goes with them sales.
It’s funny, you know? Folks get so worked up about these sales. They line up for hours, fight over stuff, and spend all their money. And then, next year, they do it all over again. It’s like a tradition or somethin’. A crazy tradition, if you ask me.
So, that’s what I remember about that Walmart Black Friday ad from 2014. It was a big deal, lots of sales, lots of people, and lots of craziness. I’m just glad I stayed home and watched my stories. That’s excitement enough for an old woman like me.
And you know, every year they do it again. Black Friday this, Black Friday that. It never ends. But I guess that’s how they get you, with them fancy ads and them low prices. They just know how to get folks to open up their wallets.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on that whole Walmart Black Friday thing from 2014. Just a bunch of fuss and bother, if you ask me. But hey, some folks like it. To each their own, I guess.
