I worked at Best Buy in the Seattle area during the first few black Fridays since it was first invented.

I think it was either the 2nd or 3rd black Fridays, some guy took all the open box stuff off the table and pushed it on the ground and got up on the table and attempted to start a riot because the line was super long.

I remembered I was trying to talk him down like, hey bro, nobody wants to be here. Just get back down.

So I told him Ill cash him out in my area, just get down. He agreed and got down. But security already called the cops and arrested him after he left the store.

My boss gave me a 20 dollar gift card. Lol.

Sounds like you had a pineapple situation on your hands

My point was Black Friday sucks for everyone. The store lost money, the customer are angry. Nobody is having a good time.

Ah, so I was kinda referring to the Chuck episode where Black Friday was utter chaos and they had a keyword to shut the entire store down

I guess it's a bit of a niche reference though
