No, there's a HUUUUGE outlet center in Delaware and the girls and I (no men, no kids) always go the weekend before Black Friday to get our Christmas shopping started and bargain hunt (updating wardrobes as needed--I started the job this year, so I needed a lot).

Surging shoppers kill New York Wal-Mart worker
Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:16pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A man working for Wal-Mart was killed on Friday when a throng of shoppers surged into a Long Island, New York, store and physically broke down the doors, a police spokesman said.

The 34-year-old man was at the entrance of the Valley Stream Walmart store just after it opened at 5 a.m. local time and was knocked to the ground, the police report said.

The exact cause of death was still to be determined by a medical examiner.

Four shoppers, including a 28-year-old pregnant woman, were also taken to local hospitals for injuries sustained in the incident, police said.

Wal-Mart said it was saddened by the death of the man, who was working for a temporary employment agency serving the discount retailer, and by the injuries suffered by shoppers.

"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority," the world's largest retailer said in a statement. It said the incident was still under investigation and referred any other inquiries to local police.

The Friday after America's Thanksgiving holiday is known a Black Friday and marks what is traditionally the busiest retail day of the year, kicking off the Christmas shopping season.

U.S. stores across the country opened in the early hours of Friday to offer discounts to consumers hit by a contracting economy. Hundreds of shoppers waited on line before dawn at some locations to secure deals on holiday gifts.

Hope the morons who trampled this guy got some really good deals. Personally I find the whole Black Friday craze a tad repulsive. Hyper-consumerism run amok.

Black Friday is right. Fucking savages. I refuse to take part in it.

I did the shopping thing last week and took my kid to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum today. Then we went to dinner and ate like pigs. Fun day.
