Black Friday frightens me

That video reminded me of one thing...that there is one unified religion in America, and it's Capitalism. Spend a couple hours stuffing the hell out of yourself, making a joke out of loosening your belt. Say that you're giving thanks, but before you go to bed you have to run over people, induce maximum flight-or-fight stress, and grab a bundle of 7 "on-sale" items like it's a helicopter food drop during the weeks following the apocalypse.
I'm an American. And I don't hate it inherently, and the "fucking yanks" thing gets right under my skin. But honestly, I can't look at that video without hiding my face a little.

I got to work on Black Friday but the thing is I don't think my workplace really counted it as such since I began at 8pm on Thursday.
"So are you scheduled to come in black friday?"
"IT IS BLACK FRIDAY!!"
From the time the doors opened until roughly 3am the place was freaking nuts (I work at Target) but once 3am hit the place died down to about the level of a moderately busy Tuesday afternoon. Nobody died or was trampled in my store despite us only having 4 Wii U basics and 1 Wii U Deluxe.
I bought Spoons. One box of 48 Spoons. I used all of them roughly 4 or 5 hours ago at a showing of The Room. Over all it was probably the best Black Friday I've had!

Funny how American Holidays work.
As a foreigner who has absolutely no experience of Black Friday...
...regardless of how people act, how can you condemn massive price cuts?
