Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

We always enjoy the dispatches from Racked NY's anonymous department store clerk, and her Black Friday recap is no different. A taste: "It is, in a sense, perversely wonderful to see a bunch of Diane von Furstenberg, Rag and Bone, Rachel Zoe, and Elizabeth and James clothes thrown about haplessly. It shows that people are excited to shop. I just wish it was more?dignified." Agreed! [Racked NY]
