Perhaps the Brits don’t know how to act on long lines which is why they had to call the cops. But like I said, this was in no way chaos

My observation of chaos and the police being called in was at a suburban mall in the United States. I have never seen this very (otherwise) normal, peaceful mall like this even on a Saturday afternoon. There was zero parking. People parking in places where they weren't supposed to park. More women with strollers and small children than I have ever seen in one place in my life. I even went back to the mall after the police told everyone to go home. The mall was trashed. Popcorn practically thrown on the marble floors everywhere, food wrappers everywhere, drinks spilled all over; picture the trashy aftermath of a Lefty protest in DC. I'm sure there were screaming kids with poopy diapers and others screaming that they had to go the bathroom and other greedy parents irate and "demanding" something that B-A-B ran out of in this poorly thought out disaster of a promotion. All of this, I would definitely term CHAOS.
