The day after Thanksgiving is referred to by some as "Buy Nothing Day". This of course is in reference to the famous 'Black Friday' shopping bonanza that typically occurs on the day after Thanksgiving, as people prepare for the holidays and make use of an extra day off.
This Buy Nothing Day we are remembering Jdimytai Damour, a security guard who was killed a year ago today by a stampede of shoppers trying to buy cheap flat screens at a Long Island Walmart at 5 in the morning.
Supposedly this year, Walmart changed their ways of handling crowds - keep store open 24 hours the night before and having people line up and get a number at the counter they want to purchase a sale item at. Whatever. Never shopping at Walmart again will be my way of telilng them what I think about their policies.
