The question that should be asked to every manager in every store...

The phrase comes from old-time accounting practices, where debt (bad) was shown using red numbers, and profit (good) was shown using black ink. If your business was "in the black" you were doing good for that fiscal period!

Was going to say the same thing! We talked about it in math and then calculated debt and crap

As Purveyor Of "Black-Friday",
I Cant Understand Why There's No Coupons.
Instead Of What-I-Learnt As A Kid ("Children Are To Be Seen, Not Heard") Nobody Told Me Anything.
All I Saw Was "After Thanksgiving Sale".
...
While Everyone Slept-In On A Free-Friday, Many Concerned Family-Members Were Doing "Fiscal-Planning By The Savvy",
...
Now,
NOW! "Add ALL The-Masses" To "The Good-Family-Members"...
...And...
...Its Become A "Battle-Royale Bullrun".

This Aint The "After Thanksgiving Sale" That The-Elderly And The Thirty-Somethings Are Used-To.
