Some portraits of Black Friday in Brazil and around the world
Who doesn't like a good promotion? Sometimes the items on offer aren't even what we want and need the most, but only because of the lower price, consumerism earns its points and we get more and more products.
Metro has published some portraits showing that consumer behavior can push the boundaries of common sense on this infamous day of oversupply.
In physical stores that have opened the door to tempting offers, it's not uncommon to find desperate people vying for literally slapped items with other fervent consumers. In a few stores, however, the thing seems to be a little more civilized.
Check out some pictures taken in this great Black Friday of 2017 and then tell us which of these riots you would get in for a good little discount.

Now if you prefer to save your physical integrity, it is worth remembering that internet purchases tend to be more successful in this regard, especially if you are after a TV promotion - by the way, the TecMundo guys are separating the most tempting promotions and will spread them. them in two lives on Tec's Facebook fanpage. The first will be at 15h and the second at 18h.
