Black Friday: The Deadliest Day of the Year…

[@alexhobbs5704]

You've got to love the irony of having a holiday where the entire point is to show how Thankful you are for what you have, and then one on the next day where you trample people to death for the things that you don't.

[@Izlude7189]

I worked at Walmart for 4 years. 4 Black Fridays. I kept pepper spray in my back pocket just in case I had to use it, but at our small town store we put guide markers on the floor, arranged shopping carts linked with chains so there were lanes to follow, and organized the entire event so it was easy to get to the best pallets of gear and items were handed out one by one by an employee. The rules were put on big signs and they rules were followed. If you were unruly or aggressive you were forced to leave, we had cops in the store. It was obvious what to do, where to go, who to talk to, and everything went smoothly every time. We never had to ask anyone to leave, we even handed out sugar cookies, water, and other snacks to anyone who wanted them. These are outlier events and poorly organized. I'm so sorry to the families who had anyone hurt or killed because of poor planning and rampant crowds. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and enjoy your Black Friday I hope you can score some good gear!

[@dodobirdtime]

[@artlove9577]

Which years? In my expeince they didn't start doing this until later 2000s. The 90s and early 2000s aren't outlier events, this is how it was everywhere. So bad that most kids I knew weren't allowed to go out and some even got hurt. I went to walmart with my parents a few times (we would hit the two in our town and the one in the next town over along with other stores) and there were never any rules like this until 2009-2012ish, and they started having to do that because people were getting really hurt. I'm glad most places have put things in effect to help with this issue. But I can tell you from experience the stuff in this video isn't just outlier/here and there events. It was a serious problem.

[@riverrile]

Years ago, I was terrified of working on Black Friday when I was employed at Macy's. I expected crowds and chaos but instead, it was like a chill anime convention amount/atmosphere of people.

Back when Black Friday was a much bigger thing I always thought the people that did that were nuts. There was no real discount for most normal things! What a lot of stores did, and probably still do, is around mid-summer they slowly start raising prices and then by Black Friday they lower them back down to what the price had been earlier in the year. So it was much easier, cheaper and safer to buy X-mas gifts in the summer lol. I like nowadays much better, online shopping is a godsend.

One of the key factors for the phenomenon is the sale. Back then I remember sales were very lavish, people getting new tech for the price of less than a week's worth of pay. Sales were more than 30%, you'd even see some stuff get discounted 70% off. Now all sales, in person or online, is so mediocre they give you a 10-20% discount on items worth 100s of dollars that it's not even worth bothering. Saving 15 or 20 dollars on new TVs, wow much sale on 2024. You have to make so much effort looking into deals with cyber Mondays nowadays, whereas back then everyone knew you were the deal was too good to pass by since retail prices were kinda high.

The pepper spray is a crazy meta it’s like an AOE attack

Pepper spray has always been meta. Great against melee builds and can even stun ranged builds of higher level players. Oh and hey Ibuki, does your McDonald's currently stock the McRib?

I used to work as a retail associate at Kohl's on Black Friday - later at Macy's as well - and Black Friday is, quite literally, the shittiest day of the year. We would have customers taking dumps in the fitting room, leaving soiled baby diapers on shelves - sometimes hiding the poop under clothes, or behind merchandise - and bringing their dogs in baby strollers, despite there being a "No Pets" sign and policy, and letting their dogs crap on the floor, while leaving the dumps for other customers to step in, and retail associates to clean up. It was utterly disgusting.

I was at that world’s biggest water balloon fight. I even helped fill some of the water balloons. The reason it got shut down early was because people started grabbing water balloons early, and when people tried to stop them the crowds through the staff to the floor.

black friday isnt big anymore because no one does real black friday deals anymore. they mark the prices up a few weeks/months beforehand, then on black friday mark them back down to original price. they got away with it for a while but people eventually caught on, and now no one cares lol

Black Friday is still pretty busy but not as chaotic. I work at walmart and a good chunk of deals start around mid November and they focus a lot of it online. It's still annoying to prep for, set up the features products, and deal with the crowds that do shop in store. I work nights so I took pto this year for Thanksgiving night into black friday morning so hope they have fun with that 😂

My dad said he heard my mom shouting from the isle over and when he came running over, he saw three GROWN men laying on top of my mom trying to take the game out of her hands. He said he picked each guy up by their collars and threw them off of her. That was the last time they ever went Black Friday shopping😭

[@LamiNalchor]

You can work for 9 hours and this might even make up for the discount.

Has anyone seen the movie Krampus? The opening scene of that movie, where people are just barging into a store, fighting and trampling on each other, just captures modern day consumerism to a T. Wouldnt surprise me if the scene was also on Black Friday.

[@josepholberding2776]

The movie Thanksgiving has a scene where a full on riot breaks out because of black friday

[@TheWebbNasty]

@@josepholberding2776 I used to do black Friday a lot and honestly its mostly really boring, just waiting in line till 4 am for a deal on a ps3 to "unlock". Its like waiting at the DMV for 8 hours so you can save 200 bucks, not even really worth it.

[@Doubtfulgrace101]

I love that Krampus movie. That opening scene goes so hard with the slow-mo of unhinged shoppers elbowing and punching eachother to the soft Christmas music.

[@Pazuzu4All]

It's the perfect scene to set the mood and themes of the movie.

[@roryrousseau111]

I always Black Friday was about getting something I wanted for a killer deal. Then I realized it was about getting a bunch of shit you otherwise wouldn’t have wasted money on. Nowadays it’s more like the whole week is Black Friday rather than just the day. Plus with internet sales things have definitely improved. I never go into the stores but I do love joy circling something on that Sweetwater catalogue a few weeks before and ordering when it’s not an arm and a leg

I remember a recent story, where when they opened the doors so Black Friday Shoppers could enter, the employee that opened the doors quickly got quickly trampled to death. And even a story or two about someone who was packing heat, shot someone else for taking something they wanted. People using tasers on other Shoppers as well. There's a reason why it's called Black friday, and it's not a positive reason.
