RENO, NV — After missing out on Black Friday shopping, local man Chris Rogers was forced to purchase a new television for the exact same price but without a “BLACK FRIDAY SALE” tag.
A dejected Rogers somberly carried his new 65-inch Samsung television to the checkout counter, yearning for the thrill of peeling off the sale tag.
“I missed out,” sighed Rogers. “This television costs $799, but it doesn’t have the sticker on it that says ‘Regularly $1299, Save: $500’ with the $1299 crossed out. It just says the price is $799. Where’s the joy in that? It’s so disappointing and dull.”
Rogers strongly considered waiting until next year so he could get a television for the same price but with a “SALE” tag affixed to it. “I really wanted that tag,” said Rogers. “Our television broke, and I waited for a month just so I could go on Black Friday. Then my daughter got sick, which ruined everything. Now I have to spend the same amount on a television, but I don’t get a ‘BLACK FRIDAY SALE’ tag. This is the worst.”
At publishing time, Rogers had decided to hold off on buying a car so he could pay the same amount but get a “NEW YEAR SALE” tag.
Heartwarming!
