When they opened the doors to get into the Wal-Mart near me this morning, people started pushing and shoving, and a bunch of teenage girls behind me pushed me forward into this guy, and then some woman shoved past me and I fell on my arm onto the metal part where the doors go over and now I have a huge bruise. No one even bothered to ask if I was ok!!! It was fend for yourself.
That's the last time I will go to the stores when they open on Black Friday. Did anything like this happen to anyone else?

Yes, here in California, quite a few Cities have reported injuries to the shoppers. On the nightly news, several people went to the hospital. I don't go out just because of this type of thing. I wait until the idiots go home to sleep & the stores are safe to shop in. If you go to the hospital & get a doctors report, the store will have to pay you for your injuries & your hospital bills. If more people start doing this, I think the big stores will realize that they have an obligation to their customers to get large crowds under control in an attempt to at least TRY to protect the customers that have come to shop in their stores. They need a better system & security guards. I think it would be fair to give out numbers as people arrive in the parking lots, prior to the opening of the doors. This is getting like the rock concerts used to be in the 80's! :o)

No. The last time I shopped on Black Friday I ended up in a bar drinking at 12:00 in the afternoon, and then found myself at the clubs downtown that night. I spent all my money that day......on me. I don't do it anymore. (Unless I can do it just like that again.) I would let the store manager know what happened so maybe they can take precautions for next year....otherwise they might be looking at law suites. Was there a "shop at your own risk" sign outside? He he he he he....

Nope, I had to work today, from 6:30 to 5:00, so no shopping for me!

Yes, this when the women get vicious and the men stay home and drink beer early in the morning.
