Black Friday : a day when the wildest shoppers get even wilder! <~~ click for the article.
Maybe you heard, or maybe you didn't, but this past Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, a walmart worker was killed as overly excited customers barged through the glass doors into the haven of bargains. The glass doors came shattering down onto the 34 year old who had been hired for seasonal help. This happened at the WalMart in Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, Long island.
My mom works in the source mall which is another mall on long island and she also had some crazy stories after the day was done about crazed customers in search of the best bargains.Customers have so many demands and want the newest items at any cost, and now it can be said that someone actually killed a man possibly to be first on line to get the newest playstation or flat screen tv. How pathetic. People are insane! I guess in the state of the economy we are in, people are that desperate for a good deal, and to be one of the lucky ones to get things "while supplies last". That term is probably what causes all this kaos. People know that supplies will run out, and on this day the shopping is more competitive so every man for himself.
One person who witnessed the tragic events at WalMart quoted to the associated press....
“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’ ” Ms. Cribbs told The Associated Press. “They kept shopping.”
Insanity.
Also, a pregnant lady got tossed around so much that she almost lost her baby.
And on the news i heard something along the lines of a shooting in a Toys-r-Us. I missed the bulk of the story but still, that should not be a headline. It shouldnt be something that happens. The end.
