Here’s an excellent article on what it was like to be in the crowd the day the Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death. It reinforces my decision never to go to a Black Friday sale to save a few bucks on a blender.
BTW, I was able to buy one of the Wal-Mart Black Friday sale items on Monday. I was at Wal-Mart to buy sunglasses and while I was there I figured I’d check out how much the Garmin nüvi 200 was now that the sale was over (I was thinking of getting my husband one for Christmas). I noticed they had a big stack of them unmarked so I asked the sales clerk how much they were and he talk me they were $99, the Black Friday price. Evidently they didn’t sell them all and I didn’t have to wait in line in the cold at 3:00 a.m. to get a good price 🙂
