What I don't understand is why Wal-Mart doesn't try to make some sort of effort (give out numbers, whatever) to make Black Friday a more orderly process. I don't see what they gain from having an annual stampede.

Because people would take the numbers, and then trample people anyway. Plus, how is giving out the numbers gonna work? Number 1 gets to run thru the store getting what he wants, and only when he's done does number 2 get to go? That'd cause a riot, number one, and it'd lose the store a LOT of business.

If they know they're going to have chaos like this, I think they're responsible to at least try to prevent it from being so bad. If not for legal reasons, then because they're dealing with their own customers.

in the first place, they DON'T know they're gonna have chaos like this. Check your newspaper. Do you see thousands of people dead in stampedes in every store across the nation? No. Because most stores make it thru black friday with a crapload of customers and none of them get hurt.
And if you're gonna require them to try to prevent it, how about some suggestions? Make 'em logical and they have to 1) 100% prevent any possibility of anyone getting hurt and 2) not kill business for the store in the process.
