People are waiting in line outside the Circuit City here (1 Viewer)

[Slapdash]

No words to describe these people....I just cant even...

http://youtu.be/5HG2MYX4N4s

I'm surprised people don't die in these stampedes of fat, stupid people

 

[Dickies]

I was thinking it would be awesome if there was a Darwinian type of reckoning awaiting these people as they flood into Walmart. Like the floor opens into an abyss, that sort of thing.

Yea Walmart needs to invest in a spike pit

 

[Rohn Jambo]

It is not okay for people to use guns to cut in line and beat up or even killed other shoppers. We're not living in the Wild West. Sure, Walmart got fined $7000 for the stampede in 2008 but why is there no public outcry against the nutjobs who go crazy for these sales?

 

[culdeus]

I really had no idea people that fat could move so fast.

 

[Native]

That was pathetic :(

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I go out and before they had it on Thanksgiving, sometimes at 3/4 AM. Sometimes not even looking for anything in particular- just if I happen across a good deal on something I wouldn't mind having but wouldn't buy at full price. In general though, I like crowds. I like to be where there is activity and people watch. I like the madness of it for the madness sake. I live in a city of about 300k and it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll see some folks I know so there's a social aspect to it.

Wow

I had no idea Polaroid made TVs. People were fighting over THAT??

As I watch these I think 99% of all the fights are over these Polaroid TVs. It's spectacular

Who said we are sitting on our asses?

I could have spent my Thanksgiving camping on the sidewalk outside Walmart, then battling fatties over ####ty Polaroid TVs after surviving the running of the bulls.

Or I could have enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving dinner with family, drank copious amounts of booze, got a good night sleep, fixed a nice breakfast in the morning and gone out on a bike ride with the kids.

I would literally pay $100 to avoid Black Friday

Yea, had he stopped at the first question mark, he would have had a valid point. But he overplayed the hand.

 

[McGarnicle]

Anyone have the model number and Black Friday price on that Polaroid TV? I want to read all the 1-star reviews and see how much of a discount it really was.

Also would you still want the TV after it's been slammed around in a battle royale for 20 minutes??

Was in a Wal Mart last night grabbing a loaf of bred and saw a big screen being returned. Admittedly, that was what I was wondering. Was it not working because he dropped it 14 times fighting to get it out of the store?

It was last Black Friday overseas. They were reduced by £150 from £399 ($600 USD) to £249 ($375 USD), so they saved approximately $225 USD. Sad. You can get a Samsung for about that much and they're much better quality. But I'm sure people shopping on BF aren't interested in a quality purchase.

Looks like the store running the sale on Polaroids was Asda. (last year) It looks as though they decided not to do Black Friday again this year . (link)

How much do you make an hour? How much do you value your time?

Honestly, if it meant saving a couple hundred dollars and I had to get up at 3 am and spend a few very frustrating hours "shopping".....I would pass on that in a heartbeat. The savings aren't worth it and I really don't see how this would be fun.

Like I said, it's not about an item per se for me. I just like the madness of it all, the people watching, etc... If I happen across a good deal, then even better. I always have liked crowds.

You get up at 3AM to join a mob of smelly mouth-breathing poors waiting in line to fight over low-quality electronics. For the people-watching appeal.

I actually can kind of get the whole wanting to be a part of something/wanting to go just for the experience. It's insane to follow through on that urge, but it does make some sense.
