Good plan but it doesn't work well for corporation America. Once the tickets are handed out the excess people leave. The stores want and encourage the feeding frenzy. Hype and short supply creates bad behaviour but also leads to greater sales. $$$$$$$ it is about the money, we should demand what you say, but with personhood for corporations don't expect any change.

And that's so much worse than pepper spraying adults and children to get to a television or waffle maker. Right.

Regardless, I never said any of this was orderly and you haven't heard me make any excuses for these people doing what they did to get to these shoes. I'm only saying that anybody that would stand outside at night for any material item is a dummy.

The Apple store here in Austin did NOT have police keeping order. There was a line, there was no pushing, there was no shoving at the doors by the crowds.

Totally different demographics at work here folks.

Folks dropping $2k on a laptop are likely a different demographic than folks going for $5 toasters.

Yeah..they are more likely to be standing on line complaining that their cup of Starbucks coffee is getting cold.

Not at all. A $75 stainless-steel Nissan vacuum Thermos mug keeps coffee hot for hours.

It amazes me how people can act like blood thirsty animals.

Now..imagine this.
There's an interruption in the JIT delivery system and shelves in supermarkets start looking a bit bare.

Who gets first dibs on that $3 box of cheerios that can be resold for $20 "on the street" ?

Connect the dots yet ?
