Target customers have been left ‘confused’ by some of the store’s so-called Black Friday deals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While a lot of people will do the majority of their holiday\u00a0shopping<\/a>\u00a0online to snag the best deals for gifts, some still go into physical stores to browse what deals have been put on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And it’s lucky they do as some shoppers have spotted something a bit fishy…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On\u00a0Target<\/a>‘s social media pages, it was advertising offers in stores such as 30 percent off clothing, 25 percent off some beauty and health care sets – but the deals might not be as good as they seem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

TikToker @djdowneygirl shared a video to the platform yesterday (25 November) and it’s already generated a staggering\u00a025 million views.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the clip, the woman is seen browsing her local Target when she spots some TVs on sale as part of Black Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, when she looks at the sign, she pulls out the previous sale sign that was there before Black Friday – and it’s the same price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’m confused,” she says to the camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another video shows someone looking at an item of clothing in the Black Friday sale to discover the label underneath the top one was actually $5 cheaper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

@djdowneygirl later clarified in a follow-up video on her TikTok that she had went to the store ‘for some snacks’ and, after seeing similar videos, was left wondering if that truly was the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

People have since shared their thoughts on the matter and it’s safe to say they’re not terribly happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Wow that’s not a deal,” one person wrote on\u00a0TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While another claimed ‘they haven’t done any actual deals in years’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A third added: “I found one where the regular price was lower then black Friday deal.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Elsewhere, former retail workers tried to explain a possible reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Makes it easier the next day.” one person said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another commenter wrote: “i worked at a target. i was lazy. hope this helps.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I currently work retail and we are told to have the original tags behind. When the sale is over, there is a list to take the tags off.” a third said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And a fourth said: “We didn\u2019t take down the original price sign because it\u2019s just easier to put back up after Black Friday.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, some were quick to point out in @djdowneygirl’s vid that tag underneath still indicated that it was for sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“That’s the sales price that continues PAST black Friday. the tag in front is just for BLACK FRIDAY that’s why it’s black.” someone wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
