This is a real joke by walmart. The crowd control is just a bunch of associates that have watched a video. Little old ladies and a bunch of kids mostly.
Hope you are wrong

I hope that you are wrong about this! Sounds like you may know what you are talking about because you may be one of the trained persons required to watch this video,(?) but I hope not. I really hope that something serious has been done to prevent this from happening again. I do not enjoy shopping on Black Friday any more because it is so ridiculously hard to fight the crazy mobs of people who have NO respect for others around them! I was pushed over last year while squatting down looking at a display of kids pajamas!!! No I'm sorry, no excuse me or anything. Just not worth it! People get a little carried away over these sales! Yes, somethimes there are good bargains, but is it really worth acting a fool over and injuring someone? I personally do not think so. For those who will be out shopping this day, please remember that there are other people around you and be respectful of that fact! Don't lose your control and forget about the true meaning of the holiday!:o)

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Scorpio

Don't let yourself be caught up in a crowd mentality. Just because someone else makes a major production out of what should be a simple matter, doesn't necessarily mean that it has to affect you adversely. You might be able to bring down the volume with a tap on the shoulder and a meaningful look. Even though it might not seem like it, your cool head is definitely appreciated at times like this.
