I mean is your life so bad that your only bit of happiness comes from some cheap widget a store is offering? and noone elses life matters that gets in between you and said widget? I went to a midnight madness thing for the clone wars and it was the same way. grown men were pushing little kids out of the way to get figures. Truly amazing. I waited for the crowd to rush in, i strolled in behind them got the 8 figures i wanted along with my holo grievous and left. I will never understand people |

I will never understand people They leave the store with a boatload of garbage, made in CHINA, buy, buy, buy...me, me, me-lemmings who let corp.'s (and the pathetic day known as christmas, which I despise) dictate their souls and minds? It's like everyone lives in a brainwashed haze. People need to wake up and smell reality. I hope WAL MART gets sued severely. So severely that it sets a precident for future "fridays" in hopes people grow up and get a clue. sad, sad day. I feel bad for that man's family. RIP |

while the people behaved disgracefully, i would also fault wlamart for a complete lack of control of the situation. legally, i'm sure they are on the hook for what happened though.
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.

Sickening. I wont tuen on the news tonight because of this. It pisses me off EVERY year.
What I don't understand is that electronics are ALWAYS big sellers. Why don't they buy more and offer them all day? I am not buying anything like that this year but Wal Mart had Power WHeels on sale for $88. Each store had something like 8 of them and they sold out rather quickly. Why not offer more all day-they WILL sell. This after Thanksgiving sale thing is too overated as it is. I read somewhere where the weekend BEFORE X-mas doesmore business and the deals are not even as good. We as consumers have also contributed to this mess. It says it right in the title-DOORBUSTER sales. Something really wrong with that don't you think? On the flip side, it is VERY naive of anyone to think that this will change. Look at the toy crazes of the 80's and 90's (Cabbage Patch dolls, Teddy Ruxpin, Tickle me Ekmo and Furby) that led to this yearly disgusting display of inhumanity and greed that we exhibit. Very very scarey and leads me to belive that we as a society may never redeem ourselves in our own eyes or those of the world. |
