The 2000s Black Friday deals were the basis of the purge and you can’t change my mind-❤someone who survived and now owns multiple flat screens and towels 🐬
For us it was the toys for our kids. My husband will never forget the last time he went shopping on Black Friday and some woman came up and tore the toy helicopter from his hands. He wasn't going to do anything so I had to step up and claim it back. He said afterwards that he had never been so equally scared and turned on by me at that moment.😂
I used to do it for my kids. I stood in line at a toys r us, that wrapped all thru the entire store, having contractions with my 4th baby the whole time...that's how serious I was. Edit: that year, once u got in the store, they tried to keep everyone a line & that's how we shopped. U grabbed as u walked thru in a line. They did a pretty good job keeping ppl from killing each other. 😂
I was the cart guard for my sisters and I ripped a bed set out of a man's hands (we both grabbed at the same time) because it was the last blue one. It's one of my prized possessions. It was strange times.
They don't do that anymore, at most it's a 40% off on the useful items. This Black Friday I got me a sweatshirt for 20 marked down from 38, which when you peel it was marked up from 19.99😂
50%? In the early 2000s, that wouldn't have gotten anyone in the door. The deals were much, much better, and worth the chaos that ensued. Eventually, stores pushed black Friday to a week long ordeal, and now it's just a joke. Not even a shadow of what it was over 20 years ago.
@@decgal81 right! More like 75% off. Off most of the stuff in the store not just the electronics department. Also didn't pull the trick of upping all the prices of stuff in September and just putting it back to the original price for "the sale".
Gen Z here. One of my Thanksgiving traditions was seeing my mom off to go fight the hoards. We wouldn’t see her again until much later the next day. I don’t know if I could stomach putting visuals to some of her horror stories.
One time we forgot it was Black Friday and sent my sister down the street to WalMart for a jar of peanut butter. She returned 2 hours later, visibly shaken.
As someone who's worked over 30 years in retail I absolutely understand the PTSD. Whenever I hear 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' I have flashbacks to Black Friday 2003 when the store I worked at had a special-$10 DVD players! It was indeed a very Black Friday.
... damn, it never occurred to me that the people who camped outside stores would have built a camaraderie that was then crushed in the stampedes and fistfights. That was a wild time and I'm SO glad I never did that.
I have never felt more vindicated. When i was 23, an old lady (70-75) SHOVED me into a store display as i was heading to a DIFFERENT aisle. Glad to know her daughter got that iPod.
Black Fridays used to mean something, people would break into stores and destroy everything, there were crowd surges and broken friendships, and people would literally die for a TV or an MP3 player, that's how low the prices got, nowadays all you get is an email telling you they're selling something for the price it was at the beginning of the year because they've been slowly making it more expensive as the months went by so they could pretend it's cheaper in November.

My mother and I used to have a tradition of grabbing a Dunkin Donuts coffee and going to people watch the chaotic throngs of consumers battling for low prices. We may have gotten towels one year.

That gotdammed tickle me Elmo literally got folks criminal charges back in the day! People absolutely lost their damn minds over that got forsaken toy! I remember my mama standing in line at sears for 12 hours waiting to get me the tickle me Elmo toy & she witnessed 4-5 women fighting pulling hair & losing their shite over that you! She said finally after some back & forth over the toy, one of the women involved in the fight had finally gotten ahold of it because she yanked it from another woman well that other women’s husband wasn’t to thrilled about that so he stabbed her! This lady got stabbed over a damn tickle me Elmo! 🤦♀️ Thank god it was minor & she survived but just goes to show how ignorant people were back then about Black Friday Shopping!
@@shelbylynn9 technically yes, cause while the police were separating the two women my mom turned around to see my grandpa walking along with two tickle me Elmo's under his arms. Turns out just around the corner was a new pallet full of Elmo's. My parents escorted him to the exit to make sure he was mugged
My first job was at Walmart during this time. When I tell you the horror that came every black Friday I am not exaggerating. We guarded those pallets and literally dived out of the way to avoid getting trampled. Walmart was 24 hour then and I was one of the associates that had to patrol a pallet. (Walk around it all night) to make sure no one tried to tear the plastic wrap off with their bare hands to get to it. I had to shove people away. People turned into animals in those days......now it's very boring.
@shelbylynn9 I've done it a few times. 1 time it was some dumbass kid toy. Some electronic doll. Others made more sense like a TV or a really memorable time. When the Xbox 1 came out. Holy Jesus that was wild.
I remember the days of the Tickle Me Elmo wars; those were dark days, I witness a Midwestern Family devour one of their own to sustain their energy for when they opened the mall gates on that Blackest of Fridays
@@tabby5228where do you think South Park got the story…. They interviewed the people that were there, they heard the horrors of those dark times. Some things had to be redacted and stricken from the records, it, it was too much…..😔
I worked at Walmart for . just shy one month, 15 yrs. I have the material for the horror story but lack the story-telling skills of a grandma to pull it off.
my grandmother fought a woman in the early 2000’s over a tickle me elmo for baby me. she had kept it in layaway and got it out to take home, and some woman tried (and failed) at stealing it 😭
Oh gods... thanks for reminder! I worked at Walmart during that time and it_was_HELL! Worse, I did not work in the toy dept but Jewelry. Did that stop people from coming over and demanding "Can't you check the back?" The "It's already been checked, we are out" flew over their head as they expected me to leave the Jewelry counter to go to the back and check for the Nth time that night. Back in the early 2000s, Walmart had a different approach for the Jewelry dept, than it did in the 2010s. There was to be someone ALLWAYS posted in the Jewelry Dept. The counter was NOT to be unmanned. Not even for breaks, I had to call for mgr to send someone to watch the area for that 15 min... even if was 2 am at night. So no, I could not go and check in the back for demanding customers, much less go repeatedly. During that season of Hunt for Tickle-me-Elmo , I had to call mgmt several times to deal with demanding customers who refused to believe me.
