Back about 1986, I went to the Grand Opening of the Joplin K Mart. It wasn't even THE first day. I was too young to know what a good buy was and too broke to have took much advantage of one if I'd known. There were lines from the registers clear back to the back by sporting goods and electronics. I just elbowed around and got out, went back home.
There ain't nothing left of that store now. It was dozed down before the tornado even.
Around here on Black Fridays you don't see fights break out, but it's crazy enough.
