Home Depot shoppers charged in cart fracas

I would never attack anyone with a 2 by 4. But there was a broom that was looking pretty useful that last time I was at Wal-Mart. Not to excuse anyone’s behavior, but I can see how these things get started. Everytime I shop in some sort of ‘Mega-Lo-Mart’ I find myself afflicted with sensory overload and hyperirritability. Too bad sensitive types such as myself (and the fellows in that article) can’t buy our duct tape, 5 dollar shoes and generic Listerine in a cool, calm, aesthetically attuned atmosphere (let’s say something like Nordstrom’s) instead of having our souls sorely tried in the crucible of Wal-Mart.

But perhaps it is good for me.....not just in the budgetary sense.
