It is all depends upon the place (and the people). I shopped during Black Friday in our local Walmart in Central WI. People were saying words like "sorry" and "excuse me" if they happened to bump into each other.
I even took my pregnant wife shopping along with me because I knew it was safe, as people are nice and gentle.

Depends where you are in the country. If you look where most shooting deaths occur it's often going to boil down to just how urban the stores happen to be.

Walmart in flyover country will be better than the Macy's in Chicago right off the bus and subway line. Imo

I did mine online. I got a refurbished Kindle from Amazon, and then later got a killer deal on a Brother laser printer from Best Buy online.

Never left my house, and they will be sent here via free shipping.

If they picked me up in a limo and let me shop for free I wouldn't go.

I guess none of these morons think to look for sales throughout the year and buy before the holiday season starts.

Point 1: Agree


Point 2: Agree


Point 3: Agree

This is why I'm willing to pay $100/year for Amazon Prime.

Does anybody else find it ironic how people are fighting each other for material crap the day after giving thanks for what they already have?
