Walmart hired the same Crowd Control experts for the Olympics and Super Bowl crowd control experts. Every store will have thier own crowd control plan, and will be open 24 hours a day. In hopes, people will not line up in front of the store for a hours waiting for the store to open. Popular high-tickety items will be put behind displays, and customers have to wait in line for staff to sell them the item.

I got a feeling huge crowds of people will still line up at the store on Black Friday since all the good stuff will be gone after the first few hours. As for lining up and having a staff to sell you the item, this sounds not as fun as picking it up myself.

It probably won't result in death this year, since I'm sure it will be harder to run in Walmart this year. I got a feeling they will only let a few people in at a time, and hire some bouncers to keep the people out. A simpler way to have fewer people show up is to raise the prices, so people go to other stores.

a bouncer outside of a local wal-mart store? I can already see the news media people doing happy dances.

Well, they did hire Crowd Control experts for the Olympics and Super Bowl crowd control experts which sounds like armed guards or bouncers since I think the Olympics usually have the army and local police protecting the crowds.

I heard that fights broke out in Wal-Marts across the US on black friday when people tried to buy discount items. They had to call in the cops at some stores to control the crowd before it becomes a brawl/riot.
