It’s called ‘Black Monday’ for a reason

Yesterday was the day that American businesses get into the black and start making a profit. In New York, on Long Island and in Queen’s, its Black Monday for another reason. Because the family of a Wal-Mart employee are now faced with the unpleasant task of planning his funeral. That’s because of this that’s right, a guy was trampled to death by people who broke down the door of a wal-mart at 5AM in a rush for Christmas deals. In addition a pregnant woman and several others were injured. When Wal-Mart announced the store was being closed due to the death, many ‘customers’ (read: psycho fuckwads) complained, saying they’d been lined up since Thursday morning and deserved to shop.
Two comments; first, who the fuck are you buying christmas gifts for if you were sitting outside a Wal-mart for all of Thanksgiving? and second WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?
Now Canadian’s say “well, that’s the yanks for ya”. Well, I got news for you. We ain’t far off. Working at a Canadian Retailer who’s name I won’t mention (but they do sell TIRES), I was witness to Moonlight Madness (apt name were the sky not cloud covered that fateful night) which, once settled upon the normally simply rude and disrespectful customer base led to the pulling down of a shelf loaded with 199 piece socket sets, another shelf loaded with cordless drills, both of which landed on other customer’s heads, the punching in the face of an elderly woman who had grabbed the last deep fryer off the shelf (it was subsequently torn from her grip) and the most horrible of all, a LARGE man belly flopping onto a skid full of pressure washers. This most horrible, because I was the unfortunate assigned to reveal the pressure washers at 10 pm. Thankfully all those psychos were punished by long lines and an Elvis impersonator. That’s my rant, Christmas sucks, People suck, People at Christmas sales suck a lot. The End…. bah humbug. PS, if anyone sees a good price on an external hard disk, hook me up.
