  Retail workers don't have to end their family dinner early to go out and work.

  
  Think about it: Black Friday prevents American families the world over from gathering together and posing for ridiculous stock photos every year. The word "epidemic" comes to mind.

  You don't risk grievous bodily injury on Cyber Monday.

  You don't have to drive anywhere while stuffed full of food.

  
  Some people would say that this is a uniquely American problem, to which I say: yeah, you're probably right.

  You don't have to shop in the dead of night or at the crack of dawn.

  
  You can get up at a perfectly respectable hour (say, 2 p.m.) and still catch the savings.

  You don't have to wait in line anywhere.

  
  Foot tap. Shift balance to other leg. Bounce on your heels. Sigh. Check phone. Shift balance again. Look around. Look to the front of the line to see if it's moving at all. Check phone again. Repeat x 1000.
