Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
I heard about a couple in my general area on the local news. Apparently Large Marge shoved Granny Gertrude into a dish towel rack to get some door buster dish rags yesterday morning. And I heard about a couple of NASCAR dads going to blows over a discounted Vizio TV set. Hey, when you can get a TV set, that's worth maybe $400, originally priced at $600, and marked down to $500... sometimes ya jest gotta whup somebody's ass!

So has anybody else here heard of or (even better) seen any good Walmart fights in your area yet??? Details! We need details... or phone pics!

It's the new American holiday shopping tradition: Fight! Fight! Fight! :nanner:

Nothing more than what I heard on the radio last night. A woman thrown out of a Walmart for recording a fight in the store. I'll look for some more news though.

I think there are quite a few people that are looking for conflict and drama and Black Friday is just their excuse.

Years back when I was retailing toys for a major department store, a dude comes in from Milton Bradley at Christmas time. He had credentials and said he was there to help merchandise product and get them out of my back room and onto the floor. He packs out some toys and has a shopping cart with him. Kenner is a part of Milton Bradley and he I notice certain sports figures piling up in his cart. Being aware of the Kenner sports figures market I decided to keep an eye on him. Some of these $5.99 figures were being sold at shows for 15-120 dollars. Here he was at the register with about 50 figures ready to check out. I grabbed his cart and asked for his bosses phone number. Told him I knew what he was doing and to get the fuck out of my store.

Another time it had to do with Hot Wheel cars. Same scam. They come in to set up the displays and cherry pick the ones that are packed 1 of 100 cases. Out the door they went and thanks for setting up my displays.

Limited edition baseball cards are inserts into random packs. These cards are slightly thicker and heavier than the rest. I caught a dude with a digital scale. I let him rip every box open and weigh each pack. He plopped his stack of packs on the counter for checkout and I took them. Get the fuck out pal, NOW.

The last time I was in there people were more surly, inconsiderate, grumpy, and disgruntled than usual. It happens every time this year, and just gets worse the closer to the end of the year it gets. I hate shopping for anything this time of year because of it. If I don't have to listen to the bitching of the people around me I have to constantly be blocked by idiots that clog the lanes in the stores. Until January comes around I'm going to try and not go to anyplace outside of maybe a gas station and local grocery store. If I have to I will buy things I need online.

With all of that Black Friday shit going on, that I avoid, I still love my Christmas Eve shopping. Hours to go to get those last few gifts. The clock is running. Got to get something. Plenty of bargains but decisions have to be made now. It's the thrill of the hunt. We are all there for the same reason. A very different crowd. We are all in panic mode and it is great fun. We still have to wrap this shit hours before the paper is torn apart. Yea, it's a nutty thing, but it's much more pleasant than waiting on a line for hours to get one item from one store with a 2 hour line at check out on Black Friday. Christmas Eve is a mad scramble to pick up anything before the stores close. Always great fun and great people.

I farted my ass off in line the other day @ my local Target.

A lady was there with her two teen daughters and she told me I need to use the bathroom as her one of her daughters held her nose and the other laughed her ass off.

I guess I should have been embarrassed but I felt good about myself for bringing such joy into that little girl's world......especially in this, the Holiday season. :yesyes:

Watch this Shit....

Honestly, anyone that goes shopping on Black Friday takes their lives in their hands. I mean just look at that psycho guy in that video! All over like a $20 saving or something. I was quiet happy doing my Black Friday shopping from the comfort of my bed in my PJs on my laptop. :)

Amen! It's insane. I like saving money but I'm sorry , $20 isn't enough to make me deal with all of those crazies. You could not pay me to shop on Black Friday.

Wal-Mart's Black Friday hit? A 29-cent towel

By Catey Hill, MarketWatch
Most consumers went into Wal-Mart this weekend hoping to score doorbusters on things like televisions, tablets, bikes and toys.
But the retailer has a not-so-dirty little secret: its customers -- who risked punches, shoving and stampedes -- bought more towels than tablets on Gray Thursday.

On Thanksgiving Day, Wal-Mart stores opened at 6 p.m. and processed more than 10 million register transactions in its stores through 10 p.m., the company says. The store sold 2 million televisions, 1.4 million tablets and 1.9 million dolls. But that’s child’s play compared to the number of towels it sold -- 2.8 million.

Why the ravenous demand for linens? Wal-Mart offered a doorbuster deal on towels: Customers could get a six-pack of washcloths for $1.74 -- or 29 cents each -- or one bath towel for $1.74.

If Twitter is to be believed, towel deals may have been fight-worthy. Several shoppers tweeted they saw fights break out over the towels, including @anthony2328, who wrote “I just saw the best fight tonight at walmart tonight over towels !” (Walmart has not commented.)

Another reason the towels sold so well was that Black Friday weekend has increasingly become a holiday where shoppers are out shopping for themselves, says Meghan Heffernan, the director of public relations for Savings.com. Towels tend not to be popular gifts.

According to a survey for DealNews. 44% of consumers planned to buy loot for themselves on Black Friday; among consumers ages 18 - 35 that number swells to 57%. “More people are now shopping for themselves on Black Friday,” says Heffernan. “That number has gone up significantly [from previous years].”




Towels. These fucking people were throwing punches over towels.
