First off I would like to congratulate the shoppers of Prince George on graduating to American shopper status. I have not seen so many angry, ignorant, arrogant people since my last trip south of the border. Black Friday was a boon to businesses and shoppers were out in force looking for those elusive deals. I was pushed, stepped on, yelled at, swore at and run over by shopping carts.
I am sure you are proud of your achievements during the shopping spree but at what cost? I know for one mom and her daughter it was pretty high. I was standing talking with a person at one of the stores and we noticed this little girl get separated from her mom then unceremonously pushed over and then stepped over by the same woman who pushed her and several other shoppers followed suit and stepped over this crying girl while her mom tried to reach her. The person I was talking to and I stepped in to help I provided the blocking while he helped the little girl up and our reward was several shoppers mostly female swearing at us and telling us to get out of their way in front of this little girl even.
Give yourselves a huge pat on the back people of PG you were bound and determined to shop even at the cost of trampling a little girl. You must be so proud of your deals you got on the back literally of that girl. As to the girl and her mom she thanked us after we reunited her and her daughter and then disappeared into the mass of people. So how does it feel to be American?
