Sunday Soapbox–Why Is This Still Happening?

I promise this is the last article about Black Friday.  I’ve seen a few videos much like the ones below and I just have to ask–why is still happening?  Why are some stores not using wristbands, etc. to keep people from behaving like animals?  There have been at least 7 deaths and 98 injuries in the last 8 years due to Black Friday and there are ways to avoid it but some companies continue to let a stampede of people grab at a limited supply of an item.   You’d think that corporate sensibility would kick in and they’d be afraid of getting sued for the injuries, if nothing else.

Please retailers, put a stop to this.  You really don’t need the sales that badly.    That is all.
