black friday lines

[Kurp]

shit sucked, got there at like 12:30am, waited on line and didnt get shit because nothing was good....just got home.

I got a good nights sleep. Actually, I just woke up and it's warm and I just had this amazing barely-been-awake stretch and yawn. I see some frost on the neighbor's rooftops and feel amazing wearing my PJs and slippers. It's going to be a great day.

Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede

[yayaok]

[Dimmauk]

I read the story and thought, "man people are fucking stupid", then read the comments and thought "man people are fucking stupid" I read the comments that someone blamed Obama for it.

[Beckwin]

and who says capitalism doesn't kill?

slept in. got a nice deal on a laptop a couple days ago

[Odesseiron]

fuck black friday, it's for tools. I slep in this morning! After 9 years of retail, I won't be setting foot outside today

I slept in until 1pm, and it was awesome.

My brother was at work at 3am, still there now.

And I'm disgusted beyond words at the Walmart death. Just when I think humanity can't reach another level of absurdity, this happens.

Doesn't something happen every year basically though?

The obvious solution to this is to have security on the premises, to regulate the lines.

Or not participate in this filthy ritual at all.

Someone got stabbed at the Wal-Mart across the mall complex from the Best Buy where I work.

Over a ticketed item.



I hate people.

The fact that it happened to a worker makes me sad, it should have been one of the dumbfuck shoppers that took the hit.

[Souj]

every year something like this happens, and it seems to always be at a Walmart.
I dont know what walmarts in other places look like, but the ones around where I live, the majority of the customers arent exactly the brightest lot of people. fat,loud,ignorant people (not everyone) who'd push down an old lady to get the last free doughnut.
You'd think the 1st time something like this happened, walmart would take responsibility and get some security set up.

^ this. The fact that it said people kept rushing past even after people got to him to work on him and he was obviously dead just makes me facepalm even harder.

Just read about this story... I've never understood how people can be so easily trampled without anyone offering to try to help, but I suppose I've never been in a crowd quite that large... That and I'm 6'2" and over 200 pounds. Hard to imagine being trampled to death.

Very sad story indeed. I'd like to think that those people would be ashamed of themselves, but I'm sure they're already telling themselves things like "Bitch should have gotten out of the way!"

[Tyche]

You underestimate the willpower of people trying to score an $800 50inch Plasma.

Just got back from working 5:30 to 3pm. Crazy day. Had a line 30min before I opened. All buying my front page sale items, Wiis, and 360s. Im genuinely surprised I didn't sell any ps3s, at all. No one even asked about em. Considerably busier then last year. I was 3k shy of reaching last years sales when I had left @ 3, and we have 6hrs to go.

[Dimmauk]

I heard the guy that got trampled was a Temp.

I also don't understand how you get trampled. I would think people would fall over on you. i would be kicking and punching my why back on my fetet.

[Norelco]

People are greedy motherfuckers. I hate what Black Friday has come to stand for.

[Eston]

More dead people, this time in a Toys-R-Us.
