“ If you get enticed to go to an application to go buy this thing and you're going to get a 30% discount code, if that code doesn't work, you're not necessarily going to spend the next five minutes trying to figure out how to make it work. You have a one-shot deal on many of these situations. Your ability to spot that you've got a problem with that code or that checkout page and be able to deal with it is the difference between having a great Black Friday or having a so-so Black Friday.” – John O’Melia
