Black Friday madness

[Nostalgiabuff]

You know, I am watching the news and reading the paper and all I see is madness at Walmarts across the country, what is about this store that brings out the absolute worst in people.
one nutcase sprayed pepper spray in a LA Walmart. she surendeded to police last night but caused at least 20 people to be injured
someone got shot in an attempted robbery in a Walmart parking lot
a 54 yr old grandfather was beaten to a bloddy mess by police at a Walmart when he was just trying to help his grandson and keep him from getting trampled.


have you seen this video yet? once again, WalMart madness

talk about a bunch of ****ing animals. for a waffle maker? really?? check out the fatty with the exposed plumbers crack....she walks away with several.

is this really what this country has become? a bunch of drooling, coniving lunatics just to get a good deal.,

sorry for my rant, this is just ridiculous to me

[toys2cool]

I know right? that's why i stay away from that place...I went to target which was packed but very well organized and then Sports authority

It is ridiculous to me to. I tried the Black Friday deal one year some time ago for the very first time in my life just to see what all of the hype was about and I vowed after that I would never do it again.

As far as I am concerned it is all a bunch of hype to sell, sell, sell and they can keep the cheaply made crap that they are selling.

Several waffle makers, true, but no self respect.

I've found it's much easier to have "Good will toward Men" when I avoid the crowds and do my Christmas shopping on Amazon.

Stores should be held accountable for causing wild animals to come out and shop especially when causing riots when they can't possibly supply the demand.

Also a Human who acts like a wild animal and attacks another human for a TV or other **** should be locked up or put down like the animals they are.......

I avoided The whole nonsense all together for the most part ....
I tried to do some online shopping ..., but failed.
I did go to Target about 6pm-ish ..., to get some Flour ( The closest thing to my house) ..., I ended up grabbing some 5 dollar Flicks... Town and Get Him to the Greek..., And 10 Holiday Episodes of That 70's show for 1.99 .

Never been to a Black Friday...and never will.

I got highlander for $4 and Goodfellas for $6 both on blu ray some toys and crap and a nice camera for $100

at sports authority I got 2 Nike LBJ balls for $10 each and the authentic spalding NBA ball for $20, all were 50% off, I go thru about 3 balls a year so I needed that

It's this type of marketing nonsense that makes me feel really bad for my fellow humans. To be lead by such a gimmick is insane to me. I'm all about saving money and I like a good deal too but to go through all of that is beyond my ability to comprehend.

How about that woman who peppered-sprayed all those people just to cut in front of the line?

I think they should give that loon at least five years in the county jail.

I think everyone she sprayed, should be allowed to spray her dumbass back......

[Nostalgiabuff]

I agree with Kingdom Warrior.

if we put her in jail than the tax payers foot the bill.

I don't have a problem with sales on Black Friday, i mean I picked up an xbox at KMart but the store was under control, it was not in any state of Chaos. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. it just seems that every year, Walmart is totally out of control. I mean it was just 3 years ago one of their employees was trampled to death in this madness. WalMart just seems to bring out the worst element, the human trash, on Black Friday. it has to stop

[megojim]

I'm blown away by this stuff too. Wouldn't touch it with a Ten foot pole. I feel sorry for the parent that is trying to get that gift they wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. They have to deal with these greedy animals that grab 3 or 4 of each and sell them on eBay. Ruthless sob's!

[gummi]

Seriously, a waffle maker? What do those run normally, a whopping 20 bucks? I love the people of Walmart.

I've worked enough Black Fridays that I will never go near stores that offer those doorbuster deals. And someone already hit on this, but stores are just baiting already tense customers by making offers that they can't even come close to the demand. I remember a few years back, a store I used to work for advertised a specific GPS for an amazing deal. The thing is, they never announce how many they have in stock. I think there were 2, maybe 3 of that model. The store could have easily been caught doing bait-and-switch tactics, because they just advertised to get the foot traffic in, with the hopes they could sell another model to the customers.
Thanks for posting the waffle maker video. I hadn't seen that one before.
This is the first year since I left retail that I've left the house on Black Friday. But I didn't leave until after nine, and it wasn't to get a doorbuster. It was because I needed new work clothes and my favorite store had everything half off. While I was out I managed to do a little Christmas shopping, but only at smaller stores that don't do those idiotic promos.
