This was not a good idea from several viewpoints... the masses were en masse at the mall...the line for Santa snaked out of his house, past the elves and back into the mall crowd, she didn't give a hoot about having her picture taken because she wanted to continue playing with the toys on the way to Santa...<BR/>If they had been giving merchandise away, I wouldn't have fought the crowds for it.<BR/><BR/>I am appalled at the behavior of people these days. How sad that someone dies because of these types.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568397636794936636.post-50773283505638809592008-11-29T22:48:00.000-05:002008-11-29T22:48:00.000-05:00You have more courage than I.

We went to WalMart for an oil change and tire rotation. We bought a few groceries while waiting. When checking out, I couldn't resist...I asked the clerk if there were any wild stories at the store. OH YES! An older woman pulled a KNIFE on a 16 year-old girl over an X-Box 360!!!!! Also, there were two older women batting their purses at one another in the dressing rooms!!! And a guy threatened another man that he was going to shoot him, although no gun was actually seen! Wild WEST??? <BR/><BR/>Makes one want to SCREAM! When we were at Target, Michelle said she did see folks looking through other people's carts, but the carts had been left alone while the people went to shop. That is kind of dumb anyway. <BR/><BR/>Mark said he supposes there will be many more bargains down the pike.

I am APPALED and HORRIFIED to hear about the Walmart worker being trampled to death by Black Friday shoppers. And they were upset when they were told they had to leave because someone died.
