i am no stranger to black friday line waiting. i've done it several times and this year was the first time my wife decided to wait in line at our local walmart. about 30 minutes before opening, she said an employee told everyone the store was abotu to open and a melee ensued inwhich my wife was almost trampled (she's only 5'-0" tall), nearly ran over with shopping carts and left with bruises by mostly women fighting to get in (her words). i was in line with her a couple years back at best buy to get a wii (we did) and it was completely organized, no voilence and very orderly. my wife said walmart had no one outside to control the crowd or no one that she could see and felt they did nothing to prevent the worst experience she's ever had. despite the cowardly disgracefule behavior of the poeple involved, walmart will likely hang for the lack of control for what was an obviously preventable accident. needless to say, both my wife and i will never shop walmart again black friday morning. sounds bad to say but i am thankful that both of us were not there with the kids, i was at home watching the kids. i fear what i would have done in reaction to people carelessly endangering my wife and or kids.
from what i saw and heard (i met up with my wife at walmart at 6am) i have to say i felt walmart behaved incompently. there were police there but they were marking receipts on the way out. who the hell has cops doing that and not ensuring crowd control and safety?
lets not stereotype everyone out this morning, some of us are hard working normal type folks just looking to save a few bucks due to decreased spending. were not the mindless masses, not the scum of the earth, etc. there are no doubt plenty of proper good folks mixed up in todays shopping mess. lets pelase refrain from lumping everyone into categories.
Why should they be sued? Because the didnt have it organized? Why is it there Job to organize chaos.....if its anyones fault its Man....for being Greedy.....and only caring about one person.....you want to blame anyone blame the world we live in...not a store.....we need to take responsibility for our Actions...not balme a store....thats taking the easy way out.....yes they will be sued because they cant find someone to blame so blame a store that does what it does every year....if they get sued than all Retail stores should be sued!!!!
