do people realize they are FIGHTING eatchother just to see who can get ripped off by a corporation more?

that texas video is just awful. my fucking god, these are the people that complain about "takers".... fuck man :oops:

All these stores do is jack up the price in the months before black Friday to levels they dont really expect items to be purchased at. Then they lower them to the price they think they should sell for on Black Friday. There are not many "deals"

deals went away around 2000- same time online sales became popular and prices became national notice.

before 2000 or so, you actually had to drive store to store to check prices. every store had different prices. now all prices have something to do with the online price, which forced all retailers to start competing with national averages rather then local markets.

so we got left with the same shit, everywhere. youre right, there is no "deals" anymore because everyone is already selling at the smallest margins possible. the only way walmart and others get $30 tablets is they actually buy stripped down models from manufacturers... models that are truly garbage but hey, whatever gets sheep in the door.

the only hold brick and mortar stores have left is customer service. helping people decide what they want. thing is, you wont get that at walmart, especially on black friday. but its fine, its what walmart wants. they dont like smart shoppers. they dont like these videos leaking out every year- but they still come out every year because walmart LOVES whats happening- theyre not about to bring tons of security in and hold people back. these people arent looking for deals, theyre just whipping out their wallets because everyone else is.

Yep, the "sales" are a farce and made up mostly of pre-Black Friday inflated prices or just plain junk. No more deals, just manipulated crap. Goes to show just how much of the population is under the corporate spell. Sometimes literally killing each other over a $50 dollar POS resistive touch screen Android tablet or a Proscan LCD TV. I bet the marketing types and C-suite peeps have hearty chuckles when these fights and stampedes happen.

And now with "Black Friday" being "Black Thanksgiving Week" it goes to show you how bad it is for retailers, as well.

Yeah these people are morons. They should just buy stuff at the jacked up prices instead.

I give credit to Walmart for letting people know in the ads what kind of stuff is marked down. That 32" inch TV for 98 bucks tells you in the ad that it's 60 MHZ and 720 resolution which is fine for watching TV but not great when watching a bluray.

I don't know why 99%ers don't hold a sit in at one of these stores blocking either entry or the cash registers. It would provide national exposure and really highlight some issues.

I don't know about you, but I'd really think twice before getting in front of hordes of suburban hausfraus dying to do damage to their Visa cards in the holy pursuit of a joyous holiday season.

or anyone else willing to actually go to Wal-Mart and be around other.....WalMart shoppers :shock:

Shopping at Walmart is the best way to support China and corporations that hate America. Letting China into the WTO was one of dumbest things ever. The great Bill Clinton worked real hard to get it done too.

There actually still are some pretty good Black Friday deals. You just don't have to go at 6am to get them.

It worked out well for me. Walked into Target at 10am and saved $120 on something I was going to buy at some point.

All of these corporations that shipped their jobs overseas convinced all the politicians that this would be GREAT for America and the American worker. Bill Clinton was really great for our economy. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't believe the product was out back then.

$379(counting the $100 gift card) at Target for the ipad air was likely the best price there will be until the next version comes out.

The ipad air is the best tablet out. I'm a huge fan of droid smartphones but they haven't caught up with tablets yet.
