I applaud the corporate decision to protect the sanity and even the life & limb of their employees from the ridiculous herds of people.
You got that right! The last place I would ever want to be an employee on Black Friday is a WalMart. Every year you see total madness there on the TV news. They probably encounter more damage to their stores, and build up more expenses hiring extra security people to deal with the masses of idiots in search of a bargain. As an employee - give me some medieval knight plate armor and a broadsword and station me in the electronics department. I'd be like Michonne from The Walking Dead, except with adequate personal protective gear. Might be kind of fun to keep order that way.
