Enjoy your fresh roasted turkey on Thanksgiving and morning-after, leftover bird on whole wheat bread this year because Black Friday will be virtually non-existent.
While the tradition of insane crowds and shopping on Black Friday has been fading in recent years amid the shift to online shopping, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic means waiting in line for hours for a 75% discounted TV will simply not be a reality in 2020. Stores will be closed on Thanksgiving and in-store Black Friday deals pushed online because consumers just don't want to go out due to fear of catching the deadly airborne virus.
