Now I won't send my men there unless the Police are with us, or armed security.

This is so true the sad thing is it's going to get worse . The Target stores in the houston area have to cut back 700 hours of payroll weekly during the month of December, and from what I hear it suppose to be true for the entire company.Their reasoning is the economy is so bad right now.

Retail work is already considered one of the most stressful jobs. More customers and less workers is a bad mix.

And the worst part is most of the brick and mortar retailers had crap deals for Black Friday. All your real savings were online.

Greed, the true spirit of Christmas. It's not about Jesus & it's not about giving, hasn't been for a long time now.

The "people" and I'm using that words loosely are nothing but trash. That guy was working for $7.50 to $8.00 and was killed, so that low lifes could save a few dollars. They should study the video tapes and arrest every person that pushed, shoved etc.... for murder. I !%&!%&!%&!%&ing hate people so !%&!%&!%&!%&ing much!!!

What kind of company do you own? Were they robbed at gunpoint? Do your guys carry after that? Sorry this happened by the way.

Oh and I hate WalMart and the gutter trash that it attracts. I gladly pay more to shop somewhere else.

Again, I hate it when people don't value other people's lives more than their "wants". I heard there was also an 8 month pregnant being trampled as well. If your 8 months pregnant..... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE!?!? What a bunch of f'ckin SENSELESS people!!!
