I had a flashback here, black Friday 2008 - scene - WalMart in Long Island somewhere. Remember that day? A security guard was stampeded to death by crazed shoppers in search of a good sale. They ran over the guy and killed him all in the name of a cheap deal.
Are people no different than the wild kingdom when it comes down to it? Instead of scavengers in search of food, its scavengers in search of the laptop.
People are reptilian sometimes.
The other day I was in line at the supermarket and a lady was exiting via the electronic doors. The alarm went off and she froze. One of the young cashiers told her it was okay, she could leave. He explained that the alarms go off sometimes. She said she wasn't going to leave and shouted for a manager. The manager went over - meanwhile the lady was blocking the door and prohibiting anyone else from exiting that particular door. She screamed that the alarms should not have gone off on her and demanded to know what the store was going to do about it. The manager explained that alarms go off sometimes...this was not acceptable to the woman who screamed louder that the store had better get their act together because someday an 85 year old woman will walk through the door and panic at the sound of the alarm. The manager informed her it probably already happened but most people don't freak out...the woman said something that I couldn't hear and scoffed out the doors. Everyone, both staff and customers began laughing.
Maybe she went to her lawyers office.
