Tranquil Black Friday passes in Escazú

Customers line up in front of the TNS clothing store at Multiplaza Escazú. While the shopping complex was busy with bargain-hunting customers, Black Friday was generally free of trampling, shrieking, and hair-pulling. “Viernes Negro” mimics the infamous pre-Christmas shopping bonanza in the United States, always following the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving.
