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.

The suspect recieved: -Two broken arms - A broken ankle - A broken leg - Missing teeth - Broken Ribs - Multiple Contusions - Assorted Lacerations - A broken nose - and a Broken jaw These injuries were sustained when he "fell on the pavement". There were no other Marine based factors at play.

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]

Damn that's probably the best set up for Black Friday that I've heard

[@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. Even though the Black Friday mayhem tends to be outliers, I still have the fear of bargain-hunting nightmare crowds.

All of the marines present corroborated this story.

[@Sharauni]

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.

[@dr.decker3623]

I worked at EBGames during the release of Halo2,.. It was a Midnight Madness release, The sales total receipt was so long we layed it out on the floor and it ran the course of the store 11 times over from back to front... The store was a sea of heads for like 48hrs straight.

If you want to see a dramatic recreation of everything mentioned in this video, watch Eli Roth's Thanksgiving. It's practically documentary footage.

Adding "Showing up to a store on Black Friday in boxing shorts and gloves" to my bucket list.

[@ceciliayus7385]

We have some Black Friday sales in Canada but it’s overshadowed by Boxing Day, which is Dec 26th. I prefer Boxing Day since there is no guilt about only shopping for yourself since Christmas is done.

[@oldhaglady62]

You couldn’t pay me enough to go shopping on Black Friday, hell, I hate shopping anyway… I worked in healthcare, and dreaded working some holidays, Black Friday was one, because of dealing with injuries. People are crazy.

[@syzionaurifex5383]

The fact that these companies can offer 80% discounts and STILL make profit is insulting

[@CaptainAkward]

I mean here in Edmonton, Black Friday was an actual dark day where a tornado went through the city. Funny enough we still have black friday sales

[@domomitsune5920]

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.

epic

[@4umata]

Hearing stories like this reveals so much of the lore behind all the south park I watched as a kid

[@Dafuq-is-going-on]

The greatest trilogy episode they made

[@VeryClaireThompson]

This will be my first Black Friday working retail- this video does not help 😔

[@NOTELISTUS]

Humanity whiplash going from Wendi’s Video on Hurricane recovery over to this.

[@maxturbo45]

16:23 maybe if it was Just Dance, then I'd understand... Rules for 2024 Black Friday: -children and elderly are off limits, don't touch them, everyone else 24 - 45 is free game. The only rule for this year and forward :3

[@sggage7823]

i definitely wouldn't mind some positive papameat videos at some point lmfao 😅

[@gekko9007]

I just wanna say thank you for citing all of your on-screen sources! Jacksfilms would be proud

[@Greendalewitch]

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.

[@benneilson10]

The k-mart in my town shut down right before 2020 so it was still around. It was weird in there though; felt like a decaying corpse that I was looting for very low prices because they were going out of business.

[@maggiestone1869]

This is the shit that makes me hate this time of year.

[@kayl8827]

15:49 the same thing happened to my mom but she was getting me Just Dance for Christmas. 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😭

[@historicaltree3251]

Who up meatin they canyon

[@miseryfps6447]

Papas meat fills my canyon

[@stink..]

15:14 New Yorkers would ignore a man in a health crisis to go shopping

[@scaredpuffin]

We need a movie review of Thankskilling at some point, it’s one of my favorite low-budget horror films

[@Mr_blue_7777]

Black Friday sales are a rip off in germany for example €29.99 normal price for an item the entire year and the moment the sales start on black Friday they put a crossed out €35.99 and still sell the item for €29.99...no jokes I've seen this a lot and some times it's even more expensive than the normal price so you save nothing 😂😂😂

[@fortifiedhill]

i work on black friday this week, this is my first ever retail job i think i might die 😭

[@ThePupSquad]

you actually can’t save up kohl’s cash bc it expires (my mother is trapped in the clutches of kohl’s that’s the only reason i know this)
