In Nashville, Tennessee there was once a department store called Cain Sloan. It was much like Kohl's or Macy's except in one respect. Cain Sloan had a bargain basement. Every year on Black Friday the contents of the bargain basement were moved upstairs and placed in the aisles. Ordinarily seconds and slightly flawed items would be sold in the bargain basement but if a first line item was placed on the bargain basement tables the customer got the item at the bargain price. You can imagine the hell that erupted on Black Friday.
I was about eighteen when I lived in Nashville and did the Black Friday thing one year. I have never seen such chaos. Salespeople policed the aisles for shoppers who cheated and put top of the line items on the bargain tables and consumers hid behind something to remove tags and do just that. Some of us, though, went on to pick up some nice things away from the bargain basement tables. I remember picking up a pretty silver blouse with self tie to wear at the office and a pair of black heels for the same purpose that only set me back thirty dollars for both. A complementary bracelet in silver was only thirteen dollars.
I remember catching the bus back home with my outfit and watching satellite TV from http://www.directstartv.com/localchannels/ without chaos.
