Cyber Monday continues to grow in popularity

Every year thousands of shoppers rush to retail stores almost as soon as they are finished with their Thanksgiving meal on Black Friday. The day has almost overshadowed the actual holiday Americans get the day off to celebrate, but not everyone is on the same page when it comes to those door buster deals.

“I’ve kind of never been a black Friday fan because you see all those videos of the riots and people fighting over stuff, so it kind of a bummer it really deters you out of things, Cyber Monday is just the easier way to shop,” Robert Klein said.

For those who prefer to stay home after Thanksgiving dinner there’s small business Saturday which is a for locals to invest in their city and their own economy. Cyber Monday was created for those shoppers who opt to stay home and finish their turkey dinner, but still want to score the deals.

The main concern most people seemed to complain about are the lines and the crowds, which is what Cyber Monday aims to eliminate.

“The fights people are not courteous, the lines, i mean its just easier, you go in you shop online for 10-15 minutes and you’re done unlike standing in line for ever,” Angelica Aguirre said.

Cyber Monday is not only a success with people who live in the borderland, its concept has attracted shoppers from all over the United States and continues to grow. Just last year it was the busiest retail online shopping day of the year bringing in over $3 billion.

Lastly, there is the matter of comfort and ease of mind of there being sufficient quantities. Unlike door busters on Black Friday, Cyber Monday tends to have more items in “stock” than brick on mortar stores, giving customers a more enjoyable shopping experience.

“I rather stay home in my bed in my comfy pj’s with my hot cocoa, and order everything online,” Aguirre said .
