Who:Black Friday crowd
What:Crowd waiting anixously outside trying to get one of the cheapest item on sell
Where:Walmart , and Best Buy
When:On Thanksgiving morning
Why:People wanting to get the most item with the cheapest cost on the item.
This was a very interesting when i read the "Calming the Black Friday Crowds" by Stephanie Rosenbloom in the business section. It is interesting how they bought up the disaster that happened last year Black Friday. Where a temporary worker who worked in Walmart got stepped on by some surely crowd. Now this year company like Walmat and Best Buy are trying to have a better system to let the crowd in instead of letting them in all at one time. What best Buy will do is hand out tickets which say what item they are most likely going to get them which ease the buyer mind. Hopefully this year Black Friday will be one of the most organize one in a long time.
