Black Friday seems to have peaked here . A couple of days ago , the story in the local newspaper was Police have warned bargain hunters in Dundee there will be zero tolerance of antisocial behaviour on Black Friday . It is two years since Tesco Extra on the Kingsway was forced to close as a scrum of outofcontrol shoppers stormed the supermarket in their hunt for bargain televisions . Black Friday sales are imported from the US , where stores offer heavily discounted goods on the day after Thanksgiving . Although last year ' s Black Friday event passed off without serious incident , police in Dundee have warned shoppers to be on their best behaviour on Friday and warned they could end up in the dock if they misbehave . and then the news today was Bargain hunters in Dundee braved freezing temperatures to take advantage of Black Friday sales . More than 20 people queued up outside Tesco Extra at Kingsway West Retail Park for the store ' s 5 am opening on Friday despite the subzero temperatures . The queue began to form an hour beforehand , with most on the hunt for cutprice electronics as well as Christmas gifts . First in line was John Munzie , 36 , who said he was surprised by how few people had turned out for the event .
