shopping4my3son Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 An update: http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/fox_cities/woman-sentenced-for-black-friday-outburst Someone was really out of control last year at Menards. I normally go to this store for some items but last year was the first time in a long time I didn't need to go. There's also a video on youtube.

otonoh Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 kind of feel sorry for her, Is a cart load of cheap merchandise really worth the price she paid. I went to Menards in Wausau a few years ago, never going back. There bargains weren't worth the inability to move in the store and the long and slow check out lines. I don't think stores realize that for every customer they gain, they also lose them, when their stores become chaotic mad houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymacfla Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It seems like people went way out of their way to force a conviction. After nearly a year, a slap on the wrist was all she ended up deserving anyway. If you listen closely, some people in the background can be heard inciting her.

96bravo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This nonsense is going to continue until serious injuries occur. They should have locked her up. Risking a catastrophe Incitment to riot Reckless behavior Something that would stick on her record. Make an example. If this witch can't control her hissy fits, the County Jail might teach her some manners. Yurg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she is mentally ill we all have free will and make our own choices. People only responded to her AFTER she decided to just jump in their line while someone kindly allowed her to pass through.

Both store employees and customers can and should control the line. Being passive and letting someone through is no way to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfaddict1977 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 look at the cabbage patch frenzy back in the 80's. People were hitting each other and getting into fights over those dolls. BF is no different. So sad:( Not worth it to me for saving a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zim05 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 what had happened prior to make her tip over the cart, was it her cart? the story I read just had the vid and her convictionThe original BF Youtube video describes the events leading up to her actions and subsequent conviction. Her conviction is quite mild compared to her outburst... - in the description box, it is a bit long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
