One of the benefits of being part of the EU :)

I think its a thing here in norway as well. Thats why they just increase the price in early october, just a month ahead of black week bullcrap. Have seen plenty of electronics "super discounted" to the same price they had in september/october

All of EU is adopting this practice to comply with the EU Price Indication Directive.

Oh wow that's cool! I'm from Slovenia too and I didn't know that.

In America we keep the same price but decrease the amount of product. #profit

Currently at work at the worst company you could ever work for, Big Lots. We've even got extended hours today, but hardly anyone here shopping. ANY corporation that has shareholders has no choice but to become increasingly evil and vile to their employees.

I was on year 4 or 5 retail, working in a small strip mall that included a best buy. The people swamped the door so hard it came off when the poor kid unlocked them, literally doorbusters and he got trampled and died.

Every year there’s a few deaths to the craze and I made a habit of checking the count every year.

Work at Best buy currently in inventory, last year all week of black Friday we have over 300 online orders at once until we were getting closer to the end of the night. This week so far the most I've seen is 50. We're staffed the same, less so in fact with all the call-outs, but still we have a full team in tomorrow from 1am until midnight.

Oh, you're too kind. I can't nearly compete with the masterpieces shown over at alttexthalloffame.org :))

For anyone who is unaware of what this refers to, it is this website:

The website describes it's services like so:

Our free Amazon price tracker monitors millions of products and alerts you when prices drop, helping you decide when to buy.

That's why I live in the EU, and they have to include the lowest price in the last 30 days with the "discount" price.

Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices

Helps accessibility and search indexing

It's so blind people who use screen readers can still enjoy the meme.

This year especially it feels, prices actually went up for Black Friday. They don't even care anymore.

For companies "illegal" just means "make more money than the fine you'll pay once you're caught".

They'll sometimes bring in the exact same form with a different SKU/UPC so it's technically a new product.

Also look out for weasel words like "Compare To", "X value", or "Special Buy" where they aren't actually saying it's on sale.
