For me it's sounds awful and appears to bring the worst out in people, I am all in favour of sales and bargains, but this seems to be over the top and I would do the same as Reusch turn around and go home.
I think they are trying to get you to buy other stuff from them at full price instead whilst your there to make up for missing out on the bargain you went to buy.

Someone in ASDA in NI ended up with a broken wrist at the TV offer stand!! FFS some people are just animals in these stores.
