    I work in a call center so not runing in like crazy. But I thought it was funny when I was speacking to some one in Canada. They knew it some some sort of big shopping day but were not sure what it was called. Some saw the adds and stuff but did not deem it worth getting out of bed for!!

        We had people waiting outside the store at four in the morning yesterday. I'm like, it's the Bent Friggen Staple and we're not even open until six. What the hell are you people doing out here?

        I'm just glad we didn't decide to carry Nintendo Wi''s for some god awful reason. I'd be typing this from a padded cell. (I'd get off on insanity because during my psychotic killing spree, I'd be naked and referring to Bea Arthur as my patron goddess. Yes, I have this planned out.)

            I used to live damn close to Buffalo and I totally believe it. There are less stories of doom and gloom where I live now but holy monkies, my parents have NEVER gone out Black Friday shopping because of all the crap that used to happen in the Buffalo area. I think I know which Target you're talking about too and to be honest I've never actually set a food inside it.

            I'm surprised our stampedes aren't more lethal.

              Also, yet another reason NOT to shop at Target!
              Or anywhere else on Black Friday. There was an employee trampled to death last year at Wal-Shart on that day of greed. I'm so glad I don't work in retail anymore. I feel for everyone who is stuck there dealing with the insanity that crazy deals on shit items brings

                That was actually 2008, but I agree, this lunacy should've been stopped ages ago.

                  i avoid that feeding frenzy; i'd rather be covered in meat and honey and shoved into a cage with starving bears.

                      It was the one in North Buffalo. It's actually a nice store, I've been there before. I don't remember anything quite like this happening around here before, but this Black Friday crap has gotten crazier every year.

                      I refuse to go shopping on Black Friday. Ever. Buying my gifts online as much as possible.

                        That's disgusting. I've heard of people getting stampeded to death in previous Black Friday rushes. No amount of cheap crap is worth a human life.
                        And this was a true fact, from Black Friday... Either last year, or 2008 Customers knocked the door of a store completely off the track and CRUSHED an employee to death Thankfully there were less than 10 people lined up at Red Vest Friday morning.. The whole 3 employees waiting to get in(Me included) slipped in with the Loss Prevention Manager through his office's outside door.
                        Look, a signature!

                        If every cashier in the world went on strike, retail would come to a screeching halt, even if for a couple hours.

                          The Kohls I was working at on BF was extremely well behaved, then. No stampeding, no SCs, no threats, no line cutting. Nothing too bad except lining up to get in at 3am.

                              Apparently I didn't watch the news this weekend. I spent the weekend with my parents in Buffalo (or rather the southtowns) and didn't even hear about it.

                              Then again, I was happily over the Peace Bridge and heading for Ikea and the wineries on Black Friday. Best tradition my wife and I have ever started: Flee the country on Black Friday.

                                What song is that? The lyrics aren't familiar.
