It seems like the outlet mall shoppers took Black Friday sales to a new level of chaos. The store in Seattle, Washington looked as if a bomb went off. Shoppers went nuts, discarding their finds on the ground as they searched for the perfect pair. The piles of Nike boxes were strewn all over the floor while shoes became mismatched in the pile of rubble. It was a scene from an earthquake or an apocalypse. Shoppers that intended to take advantage of shopping at the Nike store were shocked at what they found. The store became the talk of the web as bewildered customers took videos and pictures and posted them. It is safe to assume that Black Friday at this store next year will be handled differently. Perhaps there will be strict guidelines and security in place to prevent a repeat disaster of today's events.
Analysis/Synthesis: This article was created by Jennifer Earl. It was published on CBS News on Monday, November 28. I can only imagine all of the clean-up the workers had to do after this. Although I can understand how amazing a huge Nike sale is, it is extremely disrespectful for them to act like animals, trashing the whole store. Nike being a fairly expensive brand, this triggered the customers to buy the items while they are cheap. The damage they created had shoes all over the floor, making it even harder for them to shop. Although they thought racing through the boxes of shoes benefited them, it left hundreds of shoes on the floor without its pair. I think this article was published to send a message to the public to let them know the damage they did. I'm sure they are hopefully praying that this never happens again.

It's crazy to see what people will do to get what they want, when they want it. It seems like black friday gets crazier and crazier every year as people try to get the best deals they can find.
