however, I do remember marking down some shitty work gloves from around $3 per pair to $2.75 and two ladies actually got in a physical fight over a pair...
You knocked a whole quarter off the price and a fight ensued? I had no idea the world was as fricked up back then as it is now...

You should have been around to see the fights over Cabbage Patch dolls.

The holiday season of 1983 saw several violent occurrences in such major retail stores as Sears, J. C. Penney, and Macy's. In smaller retail sales, such as Kmart and the now defunct Zayre, retailers attempted to control crowds by handing out "purchase tickets" to the first several hundred customers, leaving hundreds if not thousands more empty handed after standing in line for several hours[2]
Reports of violence included hitting, shoving, trampling as well as some customers attacking others with hand held weapons such as baseball bats in order to get to obtain a Cabbage Patch Doll.
