Black Friday is a great day to go shopping if you're looking for the best deals. However, going out shopping on Friday morning can also reveal the worst in people. To some, manners, courtesy, and laws are thrown out the window to get that deal on that specific item. It becomes insanity! People end up fighting over stupid things like movies, toys, and video games. Why can't people see how they're acting? Don't they feel bad afterward? Stores and individuals must make some changes to keep humanity in stores.
I believe a large portion of the responsibility of keeping people from fighting lie with the stores. Rather than letting people have a free-for-all once the doors are open, stores should be organized and regulated by police and employees. Doing this will keep many fights from breaking out, as well as make getting in and out of store quicker and less stressful. When I went out shopping, one of the best stores was Shopko, because they kept many of the most valuable items behind counters, put the "doorbusters"in easily accessible and spread out areas, roped off the register area, and put an employee at the end of the line to help people know where to get in line. It was extremely well organized, and I got what I needed quickly. Other stores should have similar regulation come next year.
Because even the most organized and regulated stores can still have fights break out, individuals have a responsibility to act their age and to be courteous to others. They need know how to deal with the distress that may come from not getting exactly what they wanted. Only five-year-olds are allowed throw a tantrum when they don't get what they want. Grow up! One solution is to send everyone back to kindergarten, where they can be taught manners and how to treat others. All it takes are some basic rules and self control. Really, is it that difficult?
