4. I think it is conditioning
For years people have seen pictures of people running into stores the day after thanksgiving.

It probably started with one store with a great sale covered on the news years ago.

Then over the years, everyone learned that you are suppose to run in to shop on that day.

So now everyone does what they were trained to do.

Just a guess though.

I mean seriously, every store probably has enough stuff, and gives rainchecks if they run out.
