Black Friday, the first Friday after the American Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and is considered the day when store ledgers are pushed into “the black,” or profitability.
Sales during Black Friday and the weekend following can account for as much as 40 per cent of annual sales and profits for many stores.

Last year, a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death as shoppers stampeded into a store at Valley Stream, N.Y.

In suburban Cincinnati, shoppers began streaming into a Wal-Mart Supercenter around midnight to pick up tickets that can be traded directly at the register for certain big items like sale-priced televisions and computers. The tickets, which usually have an expiry time, are used by some stores as a way of limiting the chaos inside the store and streamlining the purchase of some popular items.
By 4 a.m. shoppers were packed into the Wal-Mart alongside shrink-wrapped merchandise, including toys, that was not to be unveiled until 5 a.m. Most of the low prices had an expiry time of 11 a.m.
