I don't think anyone wanted to hurt any feelings, its what retailers call making a profit. If they are in the hole its "in the red". So the Friday after Thanksgiving they expect to make money so "black Friday". However, I think they are prepared for this months in advance and jack the prices up so they can offer you a good deal on that particular Friday.
Huh, I hadn't thought of that, but you're probably right.
