This is the type of behavior I expect out of us when there is a food shortage, when the world is ending, or just an overall independence day like event.. I bet the first places that are raided by the masses will be the electronic stores.. Meanwhile, a select few are at the grocery stores.
Then again, there is a certain rush these people get out of being in a stampeding line.
I don't think I have anything to worry about when fighting over the last loaf of bread... That day will never happen.
Food/grocery sales are much more common than Black Friday sales (even though if one bothered to look, they could find good deals on nearly anything).
And people place a lot more value on luxury items than necessities as soon as they have what they need in terms of food, water, shelter. Water, basic food, cheap clothes, are far cheaper and more useful to people than TVs, diamonds, memory cards, etc. but you never see people rushing for those basics. Most people already have them.
