What Happened There ?

[Bazile]

So . i've arrived back from my Black Friday spending spree , with my bargains .

Now - let see what i've got -

Dyson vaccum cleaner ? - what the dickens do i need a Dyson Vaccum for ?

42 inch tv ? - what the heck do i need a 42 ..... ?

I wonder what their returns policy is

Strangely I'm just watching the scenes of the nationwide "shopping spree" on the news. I've not seen such a disgraceful display of bad behaviour since the riots which followed the shooting of Mark Duggan. These people are not shoppers, they are violent thugs, not much better than looters, whose greed is utterly disgraceful.

If stores need to do this to boost their business they should be compelled to pay for an enhanced police presence in the same way as football clubs do. Better still if they did not do it at all.

It was appalling and not just the one store......greed, pure unadulterated greed and they say Brits don't have money to spend.

I saw people fighting over Polaroid TVs at Asda.

Nothing to do with Polaroid cameras - they went out of business.
I think Asda bought the name and use it for their own brand tat.

I bet the bosses at Asda are laughing.

[DTCwordfan]

Asda should have had practice, after their Head Company's Walmart branch in Ferguson was attached.

Was that in Great Bridge, Hopkirk ?.

[DTCwordfan]

attacked - duh.

[Bazile]

it's all very sad , isn't it .

Just imagine if they were giving the stuff away - the national guard would have needed to be deployed

A quote from the Daily Mail:

"And in another bizarre incident, a Tesco employee was allegedly verbally abused by a customer who was upset that houmous had not been reduced as part of the Black Friday reductions."

Just watched the news about this and I was struck by the contrasts between areas and stores.Some stores just opened the doors and left them to it,with the resultant chaos,others managed it properly limited the customers in store at any time with the result that they had loads of happy customers,no problems and probably just as much money as any other store.

Haven't read all of the posts - but you know what Bazile - you are greedy.

[jennyjoan]

Just read your post - you are one of the saddos.

[jennyjoan]

Bazile - I would suggest give them to a charity shop for cancer sufferers - don't look for the returns policy!!!!

[woofgang]

err JJ I think Bazile is joking (I hope)

[shoota]

What happened there? ^

[Mamyalynne]

Conne - Black Friday has brought out the amateur comedians the practitioners of the sardonic, attempts at wit and of course a hety dollop of TIC and wind up.

[Old_Geezer]

No he's waiting for them to go back to full price then trying it on.

[anneasquith]

a jokey post,,,,,,,,, no harm done, I'm sure bazile needed the items and took advantage of the sale.

[Zacs-Master]

Probably all UKIP voters too.

I'm glad to say I'm not in the same Category as these people Bazile, I'd seen it on the news yesterday, one person said that the public knocked over a person in a wheel chair to get to the goods, I have my own description of these people s---m, nothing more, they behaved like animals with their prey.

[Bazile]

Mamyalynne - criticise away - no need for apologies :-)
