    yeah...it was a greeter, and nobody cared that he was trampeled and killed except his co-workers and family...

    there was a lady on there who said that she didn't care and that he shouldn't have been in the people's way.........

    yeah the greeter who was killed caused walmart to change there deal for this black friday first of all us employees arent allowed to call it black friday or blitz day(which is what it was reffered to as here) and this year people have to get in line an get tickets for the items they want and then go pick it up by drivin to lawn an garden an it will be loaded for them. i am personally thinkin this is gonna make bad worse they dont think people will fight over tickets and they think ittl be slower this year becuase everyone bein out of jobs i personally think ittl be as bad or worse cuz the people wantin to save money on there stuff so i guess i will wait an see but im keepin myself away from the doors im not gonna be the one comin between people an the junk they want.

    they are going to have like stations set up for each item and an employee is going to hand out the tickets which they have only as many tickets as items they have in back. the police are there and will order people in lines and anyone who argues or fights will be escorted out of the building. word it the tickets will just be for big ticket items TVs etc. the small items are going to have i believe they said at least 5 workers around them handing the stuff out. last year every single cart my store has was in the building we actually ran out of shopping carts there were thousands of people in the store u walk in and the main rows are just packed with people and the people are quick to get mad having to wait around till the sale starts. every other year we just had police posted at the doors this year they decided on alot more. this is bound to be the craziest event of the year

    If you are in Toronto, I believe you cross the border at Buffalo. Not sure if it's mandatory to have a passport to cross border.

    What would be the cheapest DS in the US? One of our department stores in Canada is have a Moonlight Madness and selling the DS for 89.99. With the money conversion, might not be worth for me to get it in the US.
