It bothers me that people are ok with subjecting themselves to this. Greedy people, pure and simple.

Inorite, it's like they thought they had 50 vinyl copies of an unreleased Neutral Milk Hotel album in there or something.
E. Also just noticed my title says "heard" instead of "herd", ya heard?
Glad I stayed in, that's for sure! Plus, you can get the same or better deals on the internet anyways....
I heard about people acting nuts at claremore walmart at midnight on black friday
The only time I've ever done any Black Friday shopping was last year in Sarasota, Florida. We went to Old Navy first and then to Target a couple of hours later. Both places had single file lines, the people were courteous, everyone talked to everyone else, laughing and enjoying themselves. At Target, employees handed out tickets for the TVs and such, starting with the front of the line working back to those that were there for those specific items.
I saw no fights, I saw no trampling, I saw good people taking advantage of a few good sales. Makes me think that when people act like that despite the norm telling them to act otherwise, there's still hope for humanity.

Then we go crop dusting thru the crowds.
I went this year at around 6:00 in the morning, and it was pretty tame; they opened most stores at midnight, and apparently the idiots swarmed the stores then. They still had plenty of the sale items I was looking for, and the crowds were like any other day once the stampede had come and gone.
The stores could have easily prevented this by raising prices on Friday. But who's to say that these same animals wouldn't have rioted because of that too?
