You are looking at video from Black Friday.

Online shoppers eager for discounts this holiday season did not wait for Cyber Monday. U.S. consumers spent a record $1.042 billion online on Black Friday, a 26% increase over the same day last year. Shoppers also found time amid the cooking, eating and watching football to spend an additional $633 million on Thanksgiving Day, a 32% jump from the year before.

Black Friday is the heaviest online shopping day of the year so far. The sales total is the first time e-commerce spending on that day has topped $1 billion.
