I was mainly looking for very good ammo deals...saw none. The only other deal I thought was good was a Sharp 70” Aquos for $1798....my wife would have killed me was the only thing that stopped me, for sure.

Our local Walmart was a madhouse last night. I doubt if they have anything left over for their “Black Friday” sales. Unreal.

and as a byproduct, probably got a lot of shoppers very po'ed.

Confidential to Walmart: technology is your friend. Next time, at the stores targeted by the union with picketers, try a flash-mob sale on Air Jordans, etc., and see if the picketers can deal with the resulting feeding frenzy. I'll bet even the meanest union thug would wet his pants.

I was hoping to read stories of “picketers” being trampled by mobs of shoppers.

Like many union protests, the union thugs had to bus in protestors here in the DFW area. Typical. Just for reference, I am referring to the protest at the Walmart off Wheatland Road in Dallas.

The rest of us have had our livelihoods affected negatively, in some cases dramatically so, by this ideology and vengeance driven administration. Our savings, our home values, our retirement accounts, etc., all affected negatively by this administration. So I’m supposed to care about the grievances of a group of people who voted this jerk in, for a second term, because they thought it would help them? Yes, they have families. So do we. The divisions in the country now run very deep, thanks to the divide and conquer crowd that make up the bulk of the Democrat party these days.

My wife went last night at 8PM just to check things out, and she could barely find a parking place(I believe it took her a half hour). The place was jam PACKED. This, being in a ‘two stoplight’ town out nearly in the middle of nowhere.

The only problem I see with this is now that they see how much money they made by opening at 8 o’clock. Next year they may say well dang 8 o’clock made this much so why not 6 o’clock and on and on until they are opened all day long.

There was a lot of hype about these protests in the media. The unions may have unintentionally given Walmart lots of free advertising. someone once said that the only bad PR is your own obituary.

I didn’t go to WalMart. However I did go to Best Buy, Target and a few others. By 11:30 the Best Buy line went form the store at one end of the strip mall to the other end and around the building. I came back after a few lesser advertise store and waited.

In line multiple people mention they had been at the East Windsor, CT WalMart earlier. The palace was packed. The WalMart lot was full and the adjacent supermarket lot was full. I took a quick look on Google Maps and it appears WM has 650+ spaces and the supermarket 150-175.(http://goo.gl/maps/6EZAT)

In addition next door is a closed movie theater(the rectangular building next door with the half circle on the front) anywhere from 50-75% of the spaces on the side of the building closest to WM were taken.

No reports of protesters.

forget the union thug stuff. This is about billionaires and corporations continuing to chip away at our real family values that have been decimated and at the cost of the USA.

Instead of supporting the family being together with Walmart and Target support selling the Chinese Communist crap that destroyed America.

I have no sympathy for Walmart or Target and if the employees wish to oppose it, I have no problem with it. We need to regain the USA values back and remake families and for Christ, instead of for these billionaires who think missing out on having more Americans going further into debt for their profits, is wrong for America.

Christmas needs turned into a time when Americans help others instead of helping Walmart.

The unions couldn’t even get a Democratic Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (a.k.a., “card check”), so what hope do they have against Walmart. Hey unions, your time has passed.

I never shop at Walmart, but today I made an exception and spent 15.00 on some videos just to spite the union.
