        We need new ways to thin the herd. This went away, they started printing danger labels on Dr. Pepper, we had people walking off cliffs for pokemon, but I’m not sure that exists anymore. How do we do it now? We could start bombing country music concerts but that just feels so artificial.

      I know it’s a meme, but it’s amazing how a few stores which were greatly over reported 10-15 years ago have this kind of rent free space in folks heads.

      In the Canadian city of Edmonton, Alberta, Black Friday is the day the tornado hit in 1987. Then this shit started overriding that day of remembrance.

      Eat shit, America. I fucking hate you.

    I kinda miss watching the chaos. A friend and I would have a beer at a restaurant in the mall and watch the crazy people stand in lines that extended around the whole store.

      nope, it’s a consumerist holiday where all store have deceptively bad sales and people used to legit get trampled. online shopping has lowered the death toll, thankfully

    I went black friday shopping one time back around 2005 or so before online retail was a dominating force. I get why some people enjoy(ed) it and think fondly of it, but that was an experience I don’t want to repeat. All day long so many stores were packed with people, it was hard to get around and slow going. My anxiety is ramping up just thinking about it.

    I ended up at Walmart yesterday morning (black friday). Not to shop the sales, but to get some much needed supplies. I was expecting it to be hectic and not looking forward to the trip. The place was barely more busy than any random weekday night. The only spot that was a bit crowded was at the entrance where they’d placed a bunch of pallets of TVs that constricted the space where people could move.

    It was nothing like the great DVD stampede or the 256MB thumb drive fiasco of my first black friday shopping trip.

      I worked retail in those days, it was crazy. It was common for a few fights to break out. One time I remember pulling out a new skid of Christmas trees and I didn’t even get to the main isle before customers mobbed the skid. My manager was so pissed off at me for not stopping them but how can one person stop dozens of people without any help. Black Friday was gross and BFCM is no better.

        Worked at a Best Buy back in 2018. I’m 5’. I thought I was going to be trampled several times by aggressive packs of customers. I quit a few days later.
