The Black Friday 2014 shopping frenzy has begun, and reports are coming in from around the U.S. and U.K. about fights breaking out.
CBS in Los Angeles reports two women were fighting at a Walmart in Norwalk, California, after a "pushing and shoving match" over a Barbie doll on Thanksgiving night. One female allegedly threw a punch, prompting sheriff's deputies to be called to the store around 7 p.m. Thursday.
Deputies told the news station that the situation had been diffused, and that no one was injured or arrested.
"The whole thing was pretty stupid," one shopper told CBS. "That was very dumb."
Fox 59 reports two people were arrested after a brawl at a mall in Indianapolis, Indiana. Police said a male was thrown out of the shopping center for being "too rowdy," and then got in a fight with another male in the parking lot.
Authorities told the news station that they didn't see the fight, but told the assailant to leave after seeing the victim with a bloody nose. The suspect and his girlfriend then allegedly started punching the off-duty officer.
Both were arrested. The officer was not hurt, according to Fox 59.
In Michigan City, Indiana, shoppers were more peaceful at a Walmart sale on Black Friday. However, video shows one man in a Chicago Bears jersey aggressively wrestling to get his hands on a Sony speaker set.
In Manchester, England, two men were seen fighting over a TV at a Tesco supermarket. A witness who filmed the incident told The Telegraph that the "scrap" broke out four minutes before midnight, "so Black Friday hadn't even started yet."
As fate would have it, the pair dropped the television set and a third man picked it up and walked away with the TV they fought over.
According to The Evening Telegraph, a similar "altercation" occurred at a Tesco in Dundee, Scotland, prompting the 24-hour store to close briefly.
One social media user compared it to "The Purge," a movie where no laws exist for one night a year.
Note: Video contains explicit language.
The Mirror reports at least three people have been arrested at Black Friday sales events around the U.K. The Greater Manchester Police urged peace on Twitter: "Keep calm people!"
Social media users have also been sharing video clips of a brawl that broke at a Victoria's Secret store in 2013, though some mistakenly attribute it to this season. The year-old footage allegedly comes from a lingerie store in a British mall.

Still, as retailers jump-start their deals earlier and more sales move online, Black Friday itself is starting to fade in importance.
“I’m
not sure there’s anything such as Black Friday anymore,” said Eric
Felton, 54, while shopping at Tyson’s Corner Center in McLean, Va. “The
erosion on Black Friday into Thursday has messed a lot of people up.”
Felton arrived at Tyson’s mall, the region’s largest shopping center
with over 300 specialty stores located in northern Virginia at about 3
a.m., but as the morning began, the shopping center seemed more subdued.

Target sold 1,800 TVs per minute and 2,000 video games per minute, the
retailer said in a release. Keurig’s K40 brewer and Dyson’s DC50 vacuum

Retailers were not providing specific sales figures.
Economists
are closely watching whether retailers can entice shoppers to spend
during what retailers consider the biggest shopping weekend of the year,
especially after a year of lackluster sales so far. A brightening
economic outlook, and ever-cheaper gas prices, are starting to lift
consumer confidence. But there are also signs of lingering wariness
among consumers, after what has been an uneven economic recovery marked
by anemic wage growth, especially for low-income households.

“They
got a little antsy because it wasn’t moving fast enough,” said the
employee, Nykee Harrell, 24, who was making $12 an hour for the shift,
considerably more than his usual $8. “I had to step in and calm that
situation. I’m the extra muscle.”

few minutes later, a horde of customers raced to grab DVDs and CDs when

THE THRILL OF THE HUNT
Chris
Garity, 43, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a county clerk and mother of
three, hit five stores on Thanksgiving evening, went home for a
three-hour nap, then rose at 4 a.m. to jump on her laptop and do some
online shopping (Walmart and Best Buy, the stores she didn’t want to go
to in person). She then snoozed a bit and set her alarm for Menards,
arriving at 6:20 a.m. “I’m tired,” Ms. Garity said. “My eyes burn. Do I
need any of this? No! I could’ve stayed in bed. But this is fun. It’s a
high. I love a good deal. It’s just my wiring.”

As
for shopping in stores versus online, Ms. Garity said she got an

but it doesn’t give you the experience. There’s nobody to share it with.
You push a button and it’s done.”

THE ROAD TO AUSTIN
Roughly

superstore’s scheduled 5 a.m. Black Friday opening, many of them bundled
up against brisk pre-dawn temperatures in the mid- to- upper 40s.

“We thought that people would be here already,” said Mr. Camacho.
The
prospective shoppers endured the chilly six-hour wait before the store
opened by operating in shifts, with two staking out their place in line
while two others warmed up inside the car. About two hours after
midnight, Mr. Camacho and Mr. Thurman made a run to a nearby McDonald’s
to pick up 10 McChickens and soft drinks.

The
Black Friday quartet was in the store for about 30 minutes, spending a
total of about $1,100 in cash that Mr. Camacho said the four men had
saved over the last several weeks. They were back in Killeen before 9
a.m., beaming over deals that resulted in markdowns totaling about $600,
Mr. Camacho said. Between them, they came away with a new laptop, an
Xbox, a monitor and other computer components. “I hope to do this again
next year,” he said. “I’ll start saving tomorrow.”

and closing times for Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

cologne to gloves to pajamas. He said he also tries to negotiate further
savings with clerks at the check-out counter. His daughter plays
basketball and Mr. Juarez is a bicycling and exercise enthusiast, so
sporting goods stores figured prominently on their shopping hit list.

Shoppers' favorite sale is always the day after Thanksgiving
sale, a.k.a. Black Friday. Make your holiday shopping list now and get
ready! Buy the newspaper or pick it up off the front porch to find the
weekly ad Target and check out all the Black Friday deals. Are these
deals good? No, these deals are great. So, turn on the TV and watch all
the fun ads. Because now that Thanksgiving is done, Christmas is coming,
and all the Christmas deals
are at Target: holiday décor, lights, cards and Christmas trees.
Hanukkah and Kwanzaa deals are there, too. In fact, you can find all the
holiday deals at Target and on Target.com. With Target's Black Friday
and Cyber Monday sales,
you will save on hundreds of items across categories and in all the
aisles, including electronics, toys, kitchen appliances, clothing and
accessories. You can find something (and a great deal) for everyone on
your list. Load up your cart (in-store and online) with a mix of perfect
presents and fun stocking stuffers. Remember that there will be special
offers online and great deals that are only available in store so go
ahead and make plans to shop both. So get started now. Shop the sales
and score great deals.
