Competitive shopper unleashes pepper storm on BF shoppers

Post by s1mplehumar »

No police spraying this time, just a fellow shopper trying to get an edge on the deals.

This woman was clearly in the wrong, but I still don't feel any sympathy for the stupid herds trampling everything in sight.

Glad that didnt happen to me at Best Buy. In fact the complete opposite happened. This was the first time I've ever done Black Friday and I was expecting absolute mayhem but I encountered nothing but nice people. The line was absolutely huge to get in (wrapped around the store and then some, and I was in the 'then some' part) and I still got in within 10 minutes of them opening and was out of there in 30 minutes. Not bad. Glad I didnt get maced now :)

"I don't care. I'm still getting my TV. I've never seen Wal-Mart so crazy, but I guess it could have been worse."

A 20 year old Walmart shopper with the name Nakeasha Contreras? I simply cannot believe that this "quote" wasn't cleaned up and given proper grammar.

Really? You're going to make what sounds like racial generalizations?

I think the lady was fairly clever, despite being in the wrong.

Yeah, warms my heart in a sick way. The Dark Knight of retail.

I like how you completely ignored the implications against youth, choice of commercial patronage, and maybe even income level.

But sure, choose whichever aspect you think will make for the most entertaining discussion.

Yeah the bit about the shopper having "the name Nakeasha Contreras" was obviously about income level.

No, the part about shopping at Walmart.

Why am I even replying to someone who didn't read the whole sentence?
