The Benefits of Online Shopping During Black Friday

The Benefits of Online Shopping During Black Friday

Fatimah Dibas, Staff Writer

Black Friday is a time of year where everyone digs deep in their pockets. Everything is a lot cheaper and the best deals come out. Black Friday is also a good time to buy all of your holiday gifts. Every year, there are people who literally camp outside of stores, waiting for them to open. Those who choose to sleep at home come very early.

On Black Friday, every store seems to be overflowed and packed with excited customers. When I say excited, I mean “I will trample you down if I have to” excited. The death count on Black Friday over the years is 1o and the injury count is 105. In 2016, a shopper opened fire, killing 1 person, over a parking space in  Reno, Nevada. In 2011, a young girl was trampled in a Black Friday Walmart rush and was injured.

Online shopping is not only less stressful, but a lot safer and easier. You can order whatever you want in the comfort of your bed, without having to worry about anyone getting hurt or worse. With just a few clicks, you can get what you want. Your shipment would come in a few days, but isn’t that a lot better than having to wait an hour or two in line? Online shopping is way more effective and beats getting stuck in a parking lot. My parents prefer online shopping during Black Friday, and have been doing so the last two years. Online shopping won’t stop you from feeling the thrill of getting new stuff. Ordering your stuff online is still exciting and not tiring at all!
