Attention All Customers...

I went down to Carrefour (an Asian Wal-Mart if you will) that just opened underneath our apartment complex today. They aren't officially "open" persay, but will be on Tuesday, so today was like a trial run or something. Anyways, I didn't stay longer than ten minutes, in fear for my life, due to the swarms of people in the place. The best way I can describe the masses that stormed through this store is to relate it to a football game and everyone rushes the field at the game-winning touchdown for the National Championship. Really. You'd have thought they'd made an announcement that everything in the store was free, so long as you get it before everyone else does. People were pushing over people just to get inside. Somehow I got caught up in the current of people and ended up throwing up my hands in frustration and exiting without obtaining any injuries, although had my toes rolled over and stepped on by some frenzied shoppers and their carts. I don't plan on going back in the near future though, the other stores have become deserted, and that's where I'll be. No lines, no problem. Hey, they can't help that 32 million live in an area the size of South Carolina!
