Originally posted by Yohan last recession was in what, early 90s? practically entire generation grew up being affluent and dont know what it feels to penny pinch. I think I got a pizza for one xmas that I shared with my sis.

There were some Christmases (and birthdays) for me during my teenage years where I got absolutely nothing... and still I survived...

Now, years later, after finishing school and finally finding a job and working there for several months, the sudden euphoria of being able to buy anything I want (with my earned money, not on credit) has worn down over time. Now, I don't even like to go to shopping malls. I wish I could go on trips instead, but I don't have a car.

People should learn to appreciate and value their things more (make them last longer), and not do shopping as a past-time... that way, when you really need something, or want to buy something once in a while for pleasure, you will be able to enjoy it more....

Originally posted by Anton Wal-Mart management should have put up security barriers, called in the police or hired some kind of security company. Also, they knew the crowd was large and crazy, so they should have pulled the workers back to a safer place. It doesn't mention it in the article but I wouldn't be surprised if that employee was there because he HAD to be. Its not like it was a flash mob or anything, management saw this coming from a mile away.

Hind sight is always 20/20. No, no one thought that someone would die. Also someone has to go and actually open the door so removing workers from the situation wouldn't have worked.

I mean this was technically an accident. No one went there to kill somebody. But I just wonder what happened to being calm/polite? I guess the power of the mob splits the responsibility. No one would actually do this if there weren't 1000s of others around feeding the insanity.

Originally posted by geroin well it works at the guv on any given night for example get some security to organize the lineup, in the pictures it looks like shitload of people just rushed into the store

The crowd going to guv knows that they can't pull this shit and fall in line. They know that they are going to a club and will have to get past security. The Walmart situation is much much different. People there are there to get to the sale as fast as possible. It's a race. Once the last iPod is picked up, there is no more. In the guv you just wait until you get in.

There are many sales like this in Canada. Wedding dresses is one example. Those bitches are CRAZY! A good dress could make your wedding (and ultimately your life) all you dreamed of! lol. And those designer lines at H&M are also ridiculous. Women are actually fighting over the last size 6 of any garment.

Family of man trampled by shoppers sue Wal-Mart Dec 03, 2008 03:24 PM FRANK ELTMAN The Associated Press GARDEN CITY – The family of a worker trampled to death in a "Black Friday" crush of bargain hunters at a Long Island Wal-Mart store filed a wrongful-death lawsuit today, claiming store ads offering deep discounts "created an atmosphere of competition and anxiety" that led to "crowd craze.'' The lawsuit claims that besides failing to provide adequate security for a pre-dawn crowd estimated at 2,000, Wal-Mart ``engaged in specific marketing and advertising techniques to specifically attract a large crowd and create an environment of frenzy and mayhem and was otherwise careless, reckless and negligent.'' Wal-Mart, the adjacent Green Acres Mall, a realty company that manages the property and a security company hired to patrol the property were all named as defendants. None immediately responded to phone and e-mail inquiries seeking comment. Jdimytai Damour, 34, had been hired by an employment agency as a temporary worker at the Wal-Mart store in Valley Stream and had been on the job about a week when he died, said his family's lawyer, Jordan Hecht. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound man died of asphyxiation after being crushed early Friday morning by the crowd, which broke down the electronic doors in frantic pursuit of bargains. At least four other people were treated at hospitals, including a woman who was eight months pregnant. Authorities suspect that because he was as big as an NFL lineman, Damour was placed at the entrance of the store to assist with crowd control. "Those hundreds of people who did make their way into the store, literally had to step over or around him or unfortunately on him to get into the Wal-Mart store," Nassau County Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey said this week. Police are reviewing store video to identify possible suspects in Damour's death, but Mulvey conceded that criminal charges are unlikely. Mulvey said it was apparent to him that the Wal-Mart store about 20 miles east of Manhattan lacked adequate security to handle the crowds. He said police representatives met with retailers throughout the county two weeks before Thanksgiving and made it clear that security and crowd control for the sales was the merchants' responsibility. Hecht said Damour's family also plans to file lawsuits against Nassau County and its police department. County Attorney Lorna Goodman said, "The county has no liability in situations of this kind.'' The lawsuit against Wal-Mart and the other companies was filed Wednesday in state Supreme Court in the Bronx, the home of one of the victim's sisters, Elsie Damour Phillipe, the court-appointed administrator of his estate. It does not seek specific damages. Shoppers around the country line up early outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it has historically been the day stores broke into profitability for the full year. The National Retail Federation believes Damour is the first store worker to die on the job in the post-Thanksgiving rush.
