You couldn't pay me enough to go out shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. I'm not a shopper. I don't like crowds. I don't like to get up early. And I especially don't like being trampled and knocked unconscious by rabid consumers. The quote from the Wal-Mart spokesdroid is particularly egregious: "We are very disappointed this happened," Burk said. "We want her to come back as a shopper." Sheesh.
Update (2003-12-09): the plot thickens. The woman who was trampled was a former Wal-Mart employee and has filed over a dozen lawsuits in the past. Is this a scam? Was she really injured? Will anyone who isn't a lawyer get any money out of this?
