Dawn Rush Hints at Strong Start to Holiday Sales
At 12:05 a.m. yesterday, moments into the earliest store opening on the busiest shopping day of the year, the beleaguered employees at the CompUSA on 57th Street in Manhattan laid down some ground rules: no more pushing and no more grabbing deeply discounted merchandise out of the hands of other customers.
"Civilized! Civilized!" implored one employee, as he dumped a cardboard box full of computer equipment into the outstretched hands of two dozen shoppers, who nevertheless lunged at one another to secure some of the limited supply of wireless adapters and Internet cards.
I am not going to reproduce the rest of the article. You get the idea. The following picture was taken at CompUSA on Route 17 North in New Jersey on the famous "Black Friday", just as these two unidentified shoppers attacked some of the computer equipment on display.
