A lovely description of xmas day shopping at ******Mart fer sure!
If you look at e-bay also, since friday I have noticed alot of DVD players being put up for sale (at double the price minus shipping) for all the e-suckers. Glub ****ing bless amerika! "Scopata Fuori" wrote in message . com... "okracoke mailclown" wrote in message ... Woman Knocked Unconscious By Wal-Mart Shoppers When Orange City and EVAC paramedics got to the store they found Van Lester lying on her left side on top of the DVD player, surrounded by shoppers seemingly oblivious to the unconscious woman snip It seems WalMart has generously put a similar DVD player "on hold" for her, presumably to purchase at the $29.99 price. By the time the lawyer^h^h^vultures are done, she should be able to afford one. And the hordes of madding shopper-lemmings didn't pry the prized $29.99 DVD player out of her clench as she lay unconscious? I must admit, I have been to one of those ridiculous sales. My best friend talked me into partaking in the shopping frenzy with her, a few years ago...and never have I seen such a desperate crush of subhumanity willing to inflict indignity upon their fellow consumers with absolute and deadly purpose. Enough negro broodstock to repopulate the whole of Nigeria with two generations' breeding, were milling about restlessly in the overrun parking lot, awaiting the flick of the lights, the click of the lock, and the hesitant unbarring of the door. My instinct at the time was to flee the scene in favor of the relative peace of home, and let the jigaboos grab the **** like apes on a pile o' 'nanners. But my neighbor relied on my presence to help scout the way to the Great Loss Leader of the Season, which happened to be a dozen or so VCR's at a price quite reflective of its actual cost in Chinee labor to produce. At exactly the advertised hour, plus the fifty or so seconds the nervous clerk fumbled with the key to the Mart o' Bargains, the crowds surged to the door, a dull roar echoing through the collective as the hivemind I knew this was a bad idea. I knew it. But not to disappoint my friend, I stayed at her side. We were swept up in the initial crush through the double doors, and there the pack stuck, like a dry turd. Literally crushed between smelly bodies, the inner doors bottlenecked the insane mass of people wanting nothing more than a twelve dollar set of barbecue utensils with the printed signature of their favorite NASCAR driver, a thirty-five dollar VCR, or an eighty-three dollar color television set. Or, as a consolation, one of the many not-so-bargains strategically laid out for the mesmerized masses. No sooner had we been ejaculated into the bowl of the store, but two wild eyed coons dash into the waiting cashiers lines, carts pre-loaded with booty. Obviously, Nig 1 and Nig 2 had been let into the store previously by the employees, loaded up their carts with at least seven of the twelve-per-store allotted televisions and probably all the cheapie VCRs available, and made like a mad score before the buzzer at a b-ball game. We made our way towards the middle of the store, where indeed, the wise management team had made the savvy decision to deposit the Objects of Desire on pallets outside the confines of the electronics department, and thereupon the savages set about making like looters without breaking as much glass. Nig 3 was helping Nig 4, evidently of a slower tribe than Nigs 1 and 2 respectively, load the remaining handful of discount televisions and VCRs into her overflowing cart. Now, these individuals had obviously had a head start, since they were not amongst the sardines tightly pressed into the vestibule like Jews on the trains; rather, their brethren must have let them in to loot before the doors legitimately opened to the Teeming Millions. I can understand grabbing a cheap television, maybe one for one's buddy, but to allow a head start to their brethren to snatch every one? If it was indeed a free-for-all, I am certainly out for the same blood as the rest of 'em. But this was not a free-for-all. This was a chimpscam, pure and simple. And I was ****ed. Not for my potential loss of the right to purchase a made-in-the-land-of-the-Chinee television at a price somewhat below pawnshop prices. I was ****ed because I'd been coaxed out of bed at an unglubly hour for absolutely no chance of concluding this mission successfully. My friend was greatly disappointed, as a new 17" television to replace her broken one would've been worth the hour's wait in the bitter cold dark, or at least the fifty three dollar discount. Members of the Working Poor are more keenly aware of the personal price of fifty-three dollars, in terms of hours spent on the job producing goods and services, and that price difference means dollars available to purchase groceries, or pay the electric bill, or towards repairing the family car. When one's income is allotted without personal stake in its provenance, the disposal of such becomes without conscience. So the procurement of several more televisions in such a subculture tells less of positive acquisition, and more of selfish yet mindless self-gratification. Luck, providence, or Nig 4's lack thereof, prevailed. At least two of her pickaninnies, hysterically overexcited at the mad stampede, decided to join the looting in the candy aisle, just as I arrived. Her cart contained four televisions, that I counted, plus three or more VCR's. For some reason, she overlooked the NASCAR themed barbecue utensils. I kindly pointed out she'd missed the entire crate of twelve dollar Dale Earnhardt Barbecue Sets, not wanting such a needy person to go without such indispnsable household items. She looked around, lest she miss out, and realized she was missing some of her brood. "Taisha!" she shrilled. "TAI---IIIISSSHHAAAA!" "GUMRY! GUM-RY where you be, BOY?" "TAISHA I bust YORE ASS I catch you GUMRY I BUST YO ASS WIDE" she shouted, and made her decision to turn from her prey to lumber like a mutant water buffalo down past Stationery and into the Candy aisles. That was all it took. I smiled benevolently as one of her sistahs pounced on her cart, snatching a teevee and waddling away with it as fast as a duck can heist a brick. Well hey, I thought. Good enough for whitey, then. I took the opportunity to remove one television from her hoard, and a VCR, as that was what my friend had come for. And then, because I could and for the hell of it, I took a second television, placed it too in my cart, and casually pulled away. By the time I'd settled the two televisions into my cart, the boogies had taken every one of her ill-gotten gains, and even a Trailer Park Tammy had managed to snag one of those machines so useful for playing and replaying tapes of their favorite WWF episodes. I caught a glimpse of her strutting hard, wild haired and angry, eyes glowing stupidly, dragging two small dark miscreants past Stationery and back towards the former pile of Cheap Televisions and VCRs, and her newly emptied cart. I chuckled evilly to myself, and wondered exactly what was I to do with this eighty three dollar Made-in-the-Land-of-the-Chinee TeeVee, and I had not yet even tendered my cash for it. I briefly considered letting one of the latecomers gratefully take it off my hands. But no, I caught up with my friend, and her armload of items, and let her take the TV and VCR she had wanted. And paid my eighty three dollars plus tax, took it home, and there it sat in my bedroom for almost a year, never removed from the box, until the SD decided it would be a fine venue for Feelthy Peectures, and hooked it up. I haven't been back to one of those feeding frenzies. The twenty dollars or so I might save, give or take, is simply not worth the extra hassle. This Black Friday, I spent attempting to peruse the national collections of antiquties and arts in our capitol, rather than setting foot in anything vaguely retail. Oh, and I did manage to fart in the vestibule, while being crushed front to back by the crowds packing themselves in towards the door. Five small points for me, but with a Crowd +35 Multiplier. |
