| Not something we have over here but kinda like the Jan sales. But you have to question the world when something like this happens - Quote :
- On Black Friday, when stores lure customers before dawn by promising deep discounts on stuff they most likely don't need, a mob stomped Jdimytai Damour, 34, to death. Damour was working temporarily for Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer. He was killed when a crowd of shoppers stormed through the doors he was manning.
Increasingly, these door-busting sales attract crazy crowds. And why are they crazy?
Because they know the retailers often carry only a limited number of the sale items. Still, there's no question those people in New York lost their humanity in a quest for a bargain.
What happened after that man died says even more about our culture and corporate greed.
Even after hearing the worker was trampled, some shoppers complained they were forced to leave the store while the incident was being investigated. http://www.indystar.com/article/20081207/BUSINESS/812070328/1003/BUSINESS | |
