I worked at Wal-Mart this past Thursday up until 6:30am, I and a few other guys had been setting the store up all night from about 10:00pm for this stupid black Friday thing.
While we didn't have anyone killed at my store, allot of the customers where in a panic and lines formed for items, a few of my fellow employees got pushed around.
We tried our best to help everyone we could by telling them where items are located.
Oh and to those of you with the bla bla bla Wal-Marts douche bags and they're so unorganized, I can't speak for every Wal-Mart around but we really planed ours out very well and made maps.
You guys praising Best Buy also have to take into consideration that store is much smaller and doesn't sell as many different types of products.
It helps to have managers and employees who are relatively smart and know the store they work in, this may sound silly but I've been to plenty of places where people who worked there could give 2 sh1ts less if they help you.
While I did have a few b1tchy customers everyone was pretty nice for the most part and very happy that we knew exactly where everything was and informed them right away if things had been sold out already.
It was insane though I've never seen so many people in one large store setting in my life, maybe at large Night Club events I've been to in days past but never a store.
Our security was heightened as well and they checked every single person coming into and leaving the store and every person was checked on the way out. Sadly a black woman went all b1tch fest 2008 on one of our door greeters because she asked to see her receipt, I'm not sure if many more things like this went on but the woman was seriously out of hand and throwing a temper tantrum and claiming it was only being done because of the color of her skin.
Anyway this was insane and I hope I never have to work it again.

Do you work at or for a Wal-Mart?
While the higher up people more than likely don't give 2 flips about those of us at the bottom of the ladder, the employees at my store are like a family and we'd always protect the other and we did just that when things got out of hand a bit here on Thursday.
It was nothing as serious as this but when push came to shove we said hey back the f4ck off.

Oh and just so people know I wouldn't defend Wal-Mart they are douches for sure but many of us that work there bust our @sses to support ourselves and are really good caring people.
