Give and take on Black Friday

Despite giving Woolworths 5 stars, I am not uncritical of some of its services and promotions. I'll start by saying I am a Woolies devotee, for the most part I trust their brand and it earns my shopping loyalty. One of the best things they and other retailers have done is to make Black Friday accessible online. However, in my opinion, they give with one hand and take back with the other. In the spirit of the festive season, why not make Black Friday offers just that instead of making them conditional to spending a lot more money than the voucher's worth? To spend my R250 voucher I was required to spend R1, 200, which I duly did but similar offers followed the next week and beyond and my enthusiasm diminished. I would be more impressed with Woolworths Black Friday if a special offer was available without the conditional amount I had to pay.
