After the Black Friday rush at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) which took the life of one person two years ago, things have been made safer this year.
News reports are showing that people were a lot more civilized this year which resulted in a more peaceful day. Customers flock to their nearest Wal-Mart in order to get their hands on the limited number of merchandise with maximum savings. Once the door opens, they rush in to be the first to get their merchandise. So far, this year, no casualties have been reported and shoppers are a lot more cautious. In addition to other problems, Wal-Mart does not want to repeat last year’s situation.
