Any crazy stories?

Apparently a Walmart worker in New York got trampled to death and no one even stopped to see if he was okay.

Sought: Wal-Mart shoppers who trampled NY worker

I also heard about a story at a Toys R Us in Cali where 2 women, both of whom were accompanied by men (boyfriends i assume) got into an argument over a toy and both of the guys pulled out guns and shot each other.

I remember last year I heard about a woman at Kohl's in the area who was pregnant, her water broke and she wouldn't even get out of line.

I had to work, I work at Target. I went in at 10 in the morning and it wasn't that bad, it looked pretty similar to a busy Saturday, the only difference was that we had like 3 times the business in electronics. I was put on restocking team and most of the stuff I pulled was for toys and electronics, but I didn't get too much pulled because about 6 of the 8 hours I worked went to helping people out lol. We had 8 people in electronics and there was never a moment we could spare, we were either getting key items restocked or helping guests.

But honestly it wasn't as crazy as last year when I worked at Toys-R-Us. That day was so busy I worked from midnight to noon and I didn't even get the chance to clock out for my lunch break.

When I was in college I worked at the one American Eagle and the day I hated MUCH more than Black Friday was the day after Xmas.
I sort of liked working Black Friday because while it was hectic, at least people were buying stuff so you felt like you were doing something productive. But I felt like the day after Xmas was all about doing exchanges or returns. It was much more annoying, and I felt like the customers had a worse attitude.
