34 yr old walmart employee trampled to death - Page 2

It's just a frenzy created by the popularity of certain items. There's a limited supply, and every parent must get THE toy of the season or CPS will come take their children away.

With their really nice electronics, I'm sure Wal-Mart did have some deals worth getting up early for. I'm not saying turning into a mob over a flatscreen TV is justifiable, but I'd probably punch anyone who cut me off if I was standing in that line.

Whoa this is the Wal-Mart that I go to all the time

This is sad.

**Snapps** · 11-28-2008, 04:07 PM

DDR Supernova bundle? $15

Meh, whatever you think is reasonable.

PS: This sale was on Best Buy though =/

Samba De Amigo, half price, plus they throw the maracas in.

I'd call that a good deal.

PS- I went out this morning and it was an absolute nuthouse. This story honestly does not surprise me.

that is freaking messed up. it was crazy at our walmart too, but there was very little pushing or cutting in line. people need to learn to behave themselves, and i hope those people who were at fault get prosecuted.

I couldn't say it better myself.

My local Wal-Mart was fine. The best part was their ad-matching, Office Depot had an ad for a 16GB flash drive for $30, but they were out. Over to Wal-Mart, show them the ad, and that $60 flash drive is mine for $30.

gausmaster · 11-28-2008, 05:47 PM

That is sick.

Grandiagod · 11-28-2008, 05:49 PM

maybe they can get a bargain on the coffin

UberMario · 11-28-2008, 06:14 PM

why is black friday what it is and how did it become? I've only known about it during the recent years since it's not a huge deal here.

NFD · 11-28-2008, 06:19 PM

Never mind, it's just the busiest shopping day of the year because people want to get ready for Christmas, and they'd feel guilty before Thanksgiving, so they decide the day after it is ok.

**pokelda** · 11-28-2008, 06:20 PM

ur dum even if you were sarcastic

It's the day all the companies push from the "red" into "black" by having really big sales that coincide with the beginning of christmas shopping.

NFD · 11-28-2008, 06:48 PM

I changed it like 5 seconds later.

I agree... It's awful that people would do that... I wonder what kind of world we live in where people will literally kill others to get a few dollars off at a sale.

Grandiagod · 11-28-2008, 07:10 PM

yes because they intentionally killed him

**ooobl.** · 11-28-2008, 07:28 PM

This is why we weren't going to go anywhere today until my dad called about free food at a mexican restaurant so we went. I ended up going to world market, buying some penguin mints and pocketing an 1/8 oz bottle of tabasco. I didn't even get stepped on.
Moral of the story: make your own deals and only after a late lunch.

Working retail is a prime example of natural selection in action.

Trust me. I have personal experience.
