Cyber Monday is just the excuse keep the same Black Friday sales going a couple extra days (not that they need it, given everyone seems to start their BF sales as soon as November 1st rolls around nowadays
)
Here they call them black week.
They saw the black friday in the US and wanted the same, but a vast majority of the workers, shoppers, unions, and employers. Said NO the the idea of people fighting over stuff. As seen in the videos that makes it over the pond, where it gets ugly.
So they opted to have the thing a whole week. Now most start it earlier than that, with members only starts etc.
In the US, we call it Black Friday. But, the retailers try to move ahead of one another. I started getting Black Friday promotions last month on all days of the week. Just today, a Tuesday, I got an e-mail saying, “Act now—the Black Friday sale is over tomorrow.” Neither today nor tomorrow is a Friday.
