Either she had no idea what she was talking about, or you misheard them...

A lot of stores are competing with other stores for the lowest prices. Most stores will honor competitor's coupons and match prices as well. To me, that does not constitute a sale. A good sale is one in which one store alone has low prices, good coupons, and is more concerned about the customer's experience than the money. All these stores care about now is how many customers they can get in before the store closes at night. They compete with each other like there is no tomorrow. I think this year was the worst Black Friday ever. Never in my 24 years of living have I heard of stores opening at 3 in the morning for their "exclusive" sales. In a way it's kinda disgusting. Especially in this economy.
