and that was the extent of shopping

Ya, supermarket was it for me too. I went to a supermarket in a stand-alone lot - no other stores anywhere nearby. When I lived in Florida, I stopped by Whole Foods one Thanksgiving afternoon and people were already lined up at the Best Buy next to it.

I don't think the problem is with the stores or the police. The problem is people acting like starving beasts over material crap. People acting like mindless sheep buying what Madison Ave says their life is incomplete without is the problem.

This.

If it wasn't bad enough inside the stores:

In the most serious case, a robber shot a shopper who refused to give up his purchases outside a San Leandro, California, Walmart store, leaving the victim hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

Police in San Leandro, about 15 miles east of San Francisco, said the victim and his family were walking to their car around 1:45 a.m. Friday when they were confronted by a group of men who demanded their shopping items. When the family refused, a fight broke out, and one of the robbers pulled a gun and shot the man, said Sgt. Mike Sobek.

I think Walmart is a disgusting business, for this and many other reasons. I do not and will never shop there. Americans' obsession with cheap crap is going to be their undoing.

Anyone else notice how most of these incidents happen at Walmart?
