The term, doorbuster, was coined by James Cash Penney, owner of the Penney store chain which came to be known as J.C. Penney. The word first met the public when Penny’s ran an ad in Alabama’s Tuscaloosa News on January 13, 1949.
Thank you Wikipedia. Figured it would be something like that. But… I didn’t think his middle name would be “Cash”! I thought it would be something he wouldn’t want published… like Catherine!
I have never shopped on Black Friday, nor will I ever! I am not fond of shopping so I order everything on line, now. Before I went when the crowds were at their lowest, like as soon as the doors opened.
Years ago I did a Black Friday sale just for the experience, wasn’t buying anything,and not being to sure footed I left after I got about fifty feet in the store. Never again!

I’ve seen many doorbusters in use as I enjoy TV shows that have SWAT teams. You can see one in use today in the Speed Bump comic.

It’s a BIG ol’ log carried by a bunch of Vikings or Huns. And they are always on sale cause they’re kinda out of date.
