Consider the following...

As we approach Black Friday, I always debate whether or not it's worth going out for the exciting deals found in some of my favorite stores, like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. Does the reward of saving money on vanity items that I probably don't really need outweigh the annoyance of fighting my way through hordes of consumers and apparent dangers that have arisen from this day (the risk of being trampled or robber at gun/knife point).


Which brings me to today's thought:

Are the stores that create the situations where stampedes of shoppers trample over individuals responsible for creating hazardous environments for both workers as well as consumers?

Or are the deal greedy consumers who can't control their basic instincts to blame for the hazards of Black Friday shopping?

What can stores do to create a safer environment
