10.Let's Talk about Humanity the Day after Black Friday

A couple years ago when the sale started, there was a surge of people trying to get their stuff. One lady got knocked down, and her pen went straight into her neck thankfully missing the jugular. The fucked up part is no one tried to help they just walked over her to get their shitty deal items.
An associate that saw it happen had to stand over the top over her to protect her from getting trampled. When the ambulance crew arrived, they had to literally shove people out of the way because no one would move.
People suck.

11.This Painful Accident

So it was Black Friday 2003 and I'm in the "r-zone" in Toys R Us ringing up a customer. Suddenly I see a co-worker up on the tallest ladder getting an assembled bike down from the ceiling. Here comes this crazy lady bangs her cart several times into his ladder telling hinge is in her way. He fell a good 10 feet off the ladder, and the ladder crashed into the side. Lady said, " you shouldn't have been in the way!!" Rolls her cart away. The coworker was rushed to ER! Snapped his wrist in half. I will never shop/work Black Friday Ever!

12.Black Friday Sale is a Total Chaos

I worked at Target for five years as an electronics team lead, and I saw some gnarly shit. The worst though was probably when I saw a man throw a 42" TV at another man for cutting in line. The man that received the Westinghouse to the face received a concussion and several stitches while the thrower got multiple blows to the face from surrounding customers, an assault charge, and at least one night in county. Good times.
