retail type of bullshit, literally. stuffing all the sale into a single day when none of the physical or non-physical systems are designed or implemented to meet such peak demand. my current company does everything to eliminate such peaks, which makes sense considering customer satisfaction (service quality) and cost efficiency, and some guys like alibaba doing the opposite. nothing but marketing scam, prices getting bloated in the day before and discounts(?) exclusive to 11.11.
