The Best Buy website crashed early on on Black Friday. The crash around 10:00AM. According to Business Insider, the crash happened moments after Best Busy sent a push notification to mobile devices saying the site was ready for more action following Thanksgiving sales. Both the mobile app and website are completely down.

Technically, the busiest Web sales day of the year is Monday after Thanksgiving which is known as cyber Monday. You know, the day that people come back to work and sit on their computers all day and shop at their employers expense… Black Friday is when people head to the physical stores.
#1 why so negative to the labor force?
#2 because that’s the fact about Cyber Monday.

Origin of term
The term was first used within the ecommerce community during the 2005 holiday season. According to Scott Silverman, the head of Shop.org, the term was coined based on 2004 research showing “one of the biggest online shopping days of the year” was the Monday after Thanksgiving (12th-biggest day historically)…. In late November 2005, The New York Times reported: “The name Cyber Monday grew out of the observation that millions of otherwise productive working Americans, fresh off a Thanksgiving weekend of window shopping, were returning to high-speed Internet connections at work Monday and buying what they liked.”
