I guess they really, really, really like waffles.

The veneer of civilization seems to get thinner all the time.

The veneer of civilization was always very thin. Evolutionary and biologically, we are still caveman, we are still strongly driven by instincts and not rational thought.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that none of those people need a waffle maker.

I'm guessing there was no riot 4 isles over at the $2 Thighmaster display.

Your average household waffle iron costs about $25. That means these people are willing to abandon their morals and views on the dignity and rights of other people to save 23 bucks.

People still really think that we're all inherently good?

Also, why doesn't walmart just have people buy vouchers, and then take that voucher to a distribution centre for product pickup? Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Incidentally, I wouldn't call it a riot. It's more of a melee.

No no no, these people are smart. They understand that it's not the $23 they'll abandon their morals for...it's the 92% cost decrease. They're thinking bigger than that...>> ^Morganth:

You aren't worth your salt if you won't kill a mofo for a waffle iron.

The invisible hand at work. What a glory to behold.

Not really because they don't actually want to sell those products - big discounts mean lower profit margins. Or rather, once a product is sold out many people still want to justify their trip to the store and waiting in line so they "have to" buy something else. They just want people in the stories because statistically, the longer people stay in a store the more money they are likely to spend. The sales are just to get you there. >> ^Fransky:

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Man, I love waffles. So do these people.

Not only are these people devolving purely to save a few dollars, they are doing so for one of the umpteen million STUPID single purpose kitchen accessories that seem to exist.

Seriously, do people need a waffle maker, a doughnut maker, a popcorn maker, a mini pie maker, a crepe maker, a giant doughnut maker, a cupcake maker... etc. etc. etc.

Absolute waste of space, waste of money, waste of resources. If you have a good set of basic kitchen utensils/pans/pots/trays etc. then you can make everything... and those things will be used repeatedly for lots of different things.

You won't end up with half a dozen never used appliances because you thought 'yeah, sure, I like waffles, I'll use that all the time'.

Dick people, dick companies for making them, dick shops for selling them at such stupidly low prices that people feel they just 'have' to buy them... all increasing waste on this planet. Yeay fuckin' yeay

I think you underestimate the waffle consumption levels of the average citizen of Arkansas.

Jesus, seeing people acting like this just makes me feel waffle.

On a more serious note, this is fucking disgusting.

I wasn't sure it was really Walmart or Arkansas till I saw the buttcrack.

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Pancake Institute, and it says "Fuck waffles". --George Carlin
