If you shop at Walmart you are worse that Hitler.

Repeat. (new window)

Sad in so many ways.

I'll bet they're fat white people. And at some locations, fat black people.

And by 'Extra safety precautions' they mean 'lawsuit insurance' and 'no reporters or photography'.

They don't care if someone gets trampled so long as they can settle the whole thing quietly and cheaply.

I thought about hitting up Walmart for some of the $10 Blu Ray movies, then found them on Amazon for the same price (and no sales tax), along with a bunch of other black friday bargains.

Wasn't this discussed right after Veterans Day?

Norad: Wasn't this discussed right after Veterans Day?

Yes.

This is why I avoid WalMart unless absolutely necessary.

Not because of the typical disapproval of their business practices, but because most of the people who shop there are about the lowest common denominator of human being that exists.

And if you're willing to trample over someone to get a deal at farkING WALMART then you are not a human being I want to be in the same building as.

My wife works retail. Luckily, she's closing tonight, not opening this morning. She'd have to be heading out about now...

Actually, a lot of Wal-Mart's "Black Friday sale" stuff can be done online Friday.

I looked through the ad, didn't see any remarkable prices on anything I actually needed.

no matter how much "crowd management" there is always going to a group of fat ignorant trash breaking down the doors to save 5 dollars. It's not like there is a shortage of fat disgusting consumers at walmart, if you think your life is worth a 10 dollar blu-ray movie, than maybe you don't really deserve to be alive in the first place :)


It's funny and sad to watch people lose their minds around the holidays.

I'm currently getting ready to leave for work at wal-mart, so i'm getting a kick, etc....

Whoever thought up the idea of being up so friggin early to SHOP needs to DIAF.

/Working 4:45am - noon directing people in home and garden
//Probably gonna get injured a few times.

I'm hoping for many more Wal-Mart shopping deaths this holiday season

On the plus side, People of Walmart is going to have lots of new pictures to share.

Wal-Mart's pharmacy is great. The rest of the store is meh. But hey, you can get your guns, beer and first-aid supplies all in one place, so they've got that going for them.

I think their big gimmick this year, aside from the typical super-cheap TV, is WE WILL MATCH ANY AD FROM ANYONE, NO MATTER WHAT. Which is going to be my fallback for Dragon Age if Best Buy sells out.

I worked a black friday at radioshack back in the day. I will never forget the sick desperation of two haggard women scrambling over a cheap ass portable DVD player.

Someone explain why the hell people still shop at stores when amazon will deliver to your door.

Oh, sweet fancy Moses. Every time I go to "People of Wal-Mart," I keep forgetting that freedom is just as simple as clicking the "x" on the tab. I just keep looking and looking.

eddyatwork: Someone explain why the hell people still shop at stores when amazon will deliver to your door.

I thought the amazon was all burned down.

Heh, I would have to be working as a contractor on walmart grounds right now if I hadn't gotten sick as fark with no sleep the last 2 nights.

My shift was 3am to 12pm. That would have been unpleasant.

Wow am I old. Any statement with back in the day should not have DVD in it. ;)

Also... at least from what they told me the contractors (extra security) are all strictly hands-off. So basically they can just tattle on you if you punch someone with what you wanted in the face.

Oh hell the last thing I want to plan for is anything requiring actual interaction with an employee. They're handling like 100x their normal load and asking them to do anything requiring though is kinda outta line. Hey, maybe I could convince them that my ad for that same plasma screen for $100 somewhere else that I just Photoshopped deserves a price match.

Indian Fry Bread and if you get the expanded version, corn dogs.

I haven't been in a Wal*Mart in seven years. My wife is going to one tomorrow for a laptop so she can save $200. We're not speaking.
I'll burn in Hell before I ever shop there.

Feel free to call me farked in the frontal lobes, but I admit, to drown my sorrows after the Giants loss, to going to the local Walmart this morning at 4AM. To be honest, they had it very well organized. They stayed open overnight, and there were no lines at all outside. They allowed folks to start lining up for the major items at 3AM. The "minor" items were out and available, but you could not check them out before 5AM if you wanted to get the sale price. They had lots of folks at the front showing what items were available and which ones were already sold out (based on how many people were already on a line).

I chuckled watching a few folks entering the store saying "OMG THEY MUST HAVE OPENED EARLY!" and start running around like headless chickens, but fortunately the store staff got them under control (the info about the procedure was all over the news yesterday, don't know how they missed it). Other than laptops, they seemed to have plenty of the big sale items. The "hot" items were spread out around the store, with separate lines for each. I wandered over to one of the HDTV lines around 5AM and the employee showed me they had over 200 sets and only 50 people on line. I picked up a few 5AM sale items, was online at 5:10, and, and was checked out and pulling out of the parking lot by 5:30, and home by 5:40.

I don't have any strong feelings about Walmart either way, but this store seemed to have it under control.

My wife and I are just the opposite. I go to WalMart all the time. I don't give a shiat about what ever it is that makes it so wrong or whatever. She refuses to go anywhere near them.

On the other hand, she loves Starbucks- I refuse to even walk in front of one, to me they are the Wal Mart of coffee shops, you can't go anywhere without tripping over a farking Starbucks. Everybody LOOOVES their farking Starbucks Michio Kaku Fluffer Nutter Kapa Kapa Koopa Troopa. fark you Starbucks!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUU!

One of many reasons why Walmart sucks:

btw, Im out in front of BESTBUY for black friday looking
to buy a cheap ass netbook.
HYPOCRIT or is that HIPOCRAP?

Fire bomb all Walmarts today and thin out the heard, improve the genetic pool and raise the quality of life for all.

It's a win/win situation.

A bit of napalm and all will be right in the world.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning...
