I always picture the big wigs of these companies with a live feed of the action.
I got stabbed for a copy of a game a few years ago during Black Friday :v:
Fucking america, of course it has to be that barbaric country

THanks bro, I sure felt like a barbarian celebrating thanksgiving with my family yesterday.
We jacked up the prices 6 weeks ago

Now we reduced them to normal and call it a sale

Seriously. What the fuck people. It's like, 10% off a tv. That's not enough to warrant massacres.[/QUOTE]
Best Buy has 50" HDTV's by Sharp for $250
I'd almost trample a bitch for that

Honestly from working in retail the deals are actually very good. I don't know where this price jacking and only 10% off stuff is coming from.
You just can't go for the deals on the first page of all the ads. I went to like 4 stores last night about an hour after they started the sales and all was well. Got me a new office chair for like half price off to replace my 15 year old one.
Dear god, I was a Walmart cashier two years ago when I worked Black Friday. Videos like these just don't do it justice.
You can do this shit online and not get stabbed.
Black Friday should just like, you know, not happen.
Black Friday here was very calm and orderly.
Everyone got what they wanted w/o a deathmatch.
my girlfriend got up at 3am to go work retail at the mall, shift ended at 7:45am
texted her at 7:55am, no reply since
sincerely hoping she didn't get trampled
[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43015810]like, it's really easy to just say 'haha pack of fuckwits going so spastic over some sales' when you've never had to really worry about getting this kinda shit either due to being able to get a decent job or being a minor and having your parents pay for it[/QUOTE]
Yet at the same time there are people who live way below minimum( most uni students for example) and are somehow still able to get nice things now and then so even to your "there's two sides" there's another side.

Curious, do you have examples of this?

Cyber Monday all the way.
Thought I was watching clips from world war z.
I got a nice new work bag for work on amazon, 50% off :D lesson here is, stay at home and order it.
lol less than 10 videos of black friday at what looks like predominantly low-income areas
incoming "HAHAH AMERICA SO STUPID, I DON'T GET THESE FAT CONSUMER BASTARDS"
black friday where i work was literally the most orderly thing i think i've ever witnessed since starting my job there

I'm not defending Black Friday, but I am tired of people grossly underestimating the discounts on things as a way to demean the black friday shoppers. Like the reason these people are going bat-fuck insane are because these TVs are really like 70% off dude.
I'd just love to walk in with a giant stereo, sit on a vantage point and play thrash metal really loudly while everyone tries to get stuff.

Sounds like a case of "the only things we see are bad so everything must be bad". But hey, videos of completely orderly people don't make for good entertainment
it's like going to a zoo, but these animals are fighting so it's even better than a zoo
I scored a 50" TV for $288, it's a slightly off brand, but we have other of the same make and they've lasted. Bought a 3 year plan as well though. It was about $210 off the original price. Never would be able to get a TV like this otherwise. Plus, my Wal*Mart was crazy orderly. Lines were calm and talkative. The rushes for the movies and stuff got a little exciting, but no violence to my knowledge. Everyone seemed pretty happy.
