It's that time of year again folks! The time when people come together in unity and peace for great holiday sales, that's right, it's Black Friday. Well we wish we could say this was true but in fact it's actually the time of year where pandemonium and chaos break loose. And where is the one place you'd expect the crazy to come out? Walmart of course. As many might have expected the retailer has already seen a plethora of fights, mobs and panics since kicking off their Black Friday sales event. It could be because there are so many great electronics on sale for Black Friday or people just like a good deal. Anyway it goes, check out the craziness below.
You will see in the first video that a fight breaks out near the frozen food section of Walmart. It's hard to tell what the shoppers are fighting over but you hear a woman yelling "Oh my god!" numerous times. In another video from Puerto Rico, you see the Walmart associates trying to herd people into the store in an orderly fashion but that doesn't last for long, and a stampede begins. And lastly, a fixture in a Texas Walmart breaks spilling electronics, and the crowd goes wild. These examples are only a few instances that have been recorded and shared, and we don't doubt that there are many more. Just looking at Twitter alone, numerous accounts are tweeting that Walmart is absolute mayhem on Black Friday.
A Walmart spokesperson Brooke Buchanan told the Huffington Post such incidents don't accurately depict what she describes as a successful Black Friday for the retailer. "We've got great feedback from customers and associates across the country. A few tweets aren't representative of what's actually happening at 4,600 stores." But tweets from Arizona to Alabama all depict chaos. Zach Colley, @zachcolley1, tweeted: "I have never felt more shame for humanity than I do right now watching people in Walmart fight over a tv, Alabama bookbag & a $14 blender." While Courtney Lexis, @CourtneyCrigler, tweeted: "NEVER will I go to Walmart black Friday again I got stuck in the middle of a fight over a stupid tablet if you wanna see crazy go there."
