I put my buggy right beside the dressing room door and got my jeans out and went in to try them on. When I came out my buggy wasn't where I left it. I thought perhaps someone moved it to look at the clothes in the rack I had parked in front of. I walked around the rack and didn't find my buggy. I'm standing there holding my jeans, and it dawns on me that my coat and my keys were in the buggy. I was livid!

There was a lady and her husband standing there, she ask what was wrong. I told her and she said ya about have to have a buggy guard on black friday. I said if I see someone walking around here with my coat in that buggy they are probably gonna need a body guard. Her husband offered to get me a buggy and he took off. It was 15 minutes before he came back and he had to go to the parking lot to get a buggy. Mind you it is still dark outside at this point. I put my jeans in the buggy, thank them and turn to walk away and I see that whoever took my buggy took, my coat and the rest of the stuff I had in the buggy and threw it in the floor between the racks of clothes. REALLY?! Some piece of shit is to stupid to get their own buggy as they come in or grab one in the parking lot as they come in.

I was again livid. I can honestly say that had I walked out of the dressing room when someone was walking off with my buggy or throwing my stuff in the floor, I would have showed my REDNECK ASS and it would have taken all four of the deputies I saw in the store to lock me up. Really what kind of ASS takes your stuff out of your buggy to steal your buggy when they can clearly see it has personal stuff in it. It is obviously not an abandoned buggy.

At any rate I saved a huge amount of money. Spent $50 on jeans and that was a $125 savings just on them. So by the time I left the store I was back in the Christmas spirit.

Another woman literally shoved the 9 year old girl OUT of the buggy headfirst onto the floor, to get the scooters. People are fucking stupid and I would like to punch (most of) them squarely in the face.

These two posts are examples of why I will not do "Black Friday." People turn into shopping addicts and think nothing of injuring, or worse, someone else to save a few dollars. I know I could not tolerate it and someone would get hurt and arrested.
