Most bizarre story of Black Friday
One of the most unusual and bizarre Black Friday stories happened in 2012, and it involves something you wouldn't normally associate with shopping: Thanksgiving dinner food.
At a Walmart in Georgia, shoppers were gathered in the electronics section, eagerly waiting for the store’s Black Friday sales to start. Everything seemed typical—people jostling for position, checking their watches, and eyeing the goods. But one woman had a different kind of strategy for dealing with the stress of the crowd: she brought a full Thanksgiving meal with her.
Yes, you read that right! This dedicated shopper rolled a large cooler filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and even pies right into the store. As the crowd around her got more tense, she calmly set up a mini Thanksgiving feast, complete with folding chairs and paper plates. Shoppers who passed by couldn’t help but laugh at the surreal sight of this woman digging into her turkey leg and offering slices of pie to those around her while the chaos of Black Friday swirled nearby.
What makes the story even stranger is that when the doors finally opened and people rushed toward the deals, she didn’t even rush to grab anything herself! She leisurely finished her meal, cleaned up her setup, and then casually walked over to the sales section like she had all the time in the world. In the end, she did manage to grab a few items, but not before enjoying a calm Thanksgiving dinner right in the middle of the Black Friday madness.
Her quirky, slow-paced approach in a situation where everyone else was frantic made this story one of the most bizarre—and oddly amusing—moments in Black Friday history.
