Mob

One more bullet to add on my list of reasons to move out of the state when I turn 18:
  • Desperate shoppers will kill for a good deal... literally.

So I just recently read that on the infamous Black Friday, crazed customers stormed a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, NY and trampled over a employee trying to curb the mob back.

When the announcement was made that the man had been killed and that the store must be closed, some shoppers protested loudly and kept on shopping.

Really? I'm cringing at the thought. Is a $28 vacuum or a $9 DVD worth a human life?

I actually did not really go out shopping on Friday. I left the house around 8:30 and bought a new camera at Office Max and went straight home, so that was the extent of my Black Friday.

I also apologize for the lack of haikus, I promise I'll have some splendid ones written up soon.

Yeah, black Friday is pretty crazy. I work in retail and have worked on black Friday for the past three years. It's always a mess.

Hope you like your new camera!
