Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think I would have just took it is stride, though I would be angry that this woman could do such a thing especially to the woman she wrote a check to that said she needed her rent paid more than clothes.
I would have hung the clothes back up, then just watched the rest of these fools with my mouth hanging open in amazement after I made a loud comment to any that could hear that it was not the stores fault, so why take it out on them.
They were all calling friends and relatives to come to the store too. What da heck were these people thinking? Though it is clear that they weren't.
It goes to show how the word free and the greed of some people will cause utter mayham.
She obviously got her kicks from doing this, I hope she enjoys her time in jail.

I would have done the same thing also. I would have had to question a person's sanity if they just blurted out something like that in a store full of strangers. Lottery winner or not!

Absolutely, without even thinking for themselves.

Yep. That was a very irresponsible thing to do. I guess she sounds a little bit mental to me! :o(
Good seed, beaumrtn.

Hi cuzzenbud thanks for stopping in, I am glad you felt this way too, I thought maybe it was just me, or maybe it would be a little different if I was actually there at that time, But I don't think so. I hear you with this womans sanity as you said
I would have had to question a person's sanity if they just blurted out something like that in a store full of strangers. Lottery winner or not!
She was not only insane but suicidal as upon learning they were not getting things for free from her, it's hard telling what some of them people would have done had they gotten their hands on her.
Ms CYPRAH-- Thank you very much, it is a honor to have you to take a peek at mine, I appreciate it.
Now a days some people really make you wonder where they keep their brains at or if they have any at all. Hope her time in jail helps her to think a little about her mental issues and gets some help.

Wow, for about an hour I bet those shoppers were feeling on top of the world. $500.00 at BCF would result in alot of shopping bags. What a let down! She is crazy even though she is really generous with fake money. But what I think is even more crazy is the person out shopping, for clothes she didn't need, with the rent money!!!

I'm sure they all were on top of the world, and what a big crash it was when they had to come back to reality, She definitely was nuts.
As for the woman needing the rent, I actually didn't think nothing about it because I have a few friend who love to window shop even when they don't have money, As for me If I don't have the money I don't like to shop.

Lock her up, throw away the key, and never, ever let her out again. She's lucky no one died in the mayhem. Maybe luckier still that no one shot her...
As for what I'd do, I'd watch, but that's all I'd do. Don't need someone paying my bills for me, and even if she was tossing around cash, I'd probably hand it to someone else, anyway.
What I don't believe is the way the customers behaved... lock them all up. There is no excuse for being a jerk.

bitemore- you are correct, someone could have been hurt real bad because of this woman and her prank, it was all so inexcusable for all of them, I hope all of these people look back on that day and can see just how stupid they acted. I am just speculating but the sad truth is most would probably do the same thing all over again.

Calvin Tang, Hilarious at first I thought, I could see these people going wild threw the store, snatching and a grabbing. Maybe I've seen to many movies, lol
But then I was like the whole lot of them were nuts how could anyone act like that.
I really feel bad for the lady who needed the rent most of all.
Imagine the store owner, if it were me I would be thinking WOW this will be one of the best days we have ever had, then to have it turn into almost a riot, and have clothes stolen and just thrown about the store, I bet they lost who knows how many thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Maybe their insurance will cover it for the most part.
Remember when someone says free that means look out, because nothing is free.
