It's becoming a tradition for Black Friday shoppers to find not just deals, but protests at some Walmart stores.
This year, some of the biggest demonstrations took place outside Walmarts in Chicago and Washington D.C., as well in cities in California, Washington, Texas and New Jersey.
At a store in North Bergen, N.J., about 75 protesters marched around the parking lot. They carried signs that read: "People who work deserve a living wage" and "Shame on Walmart." At times they chanted: "Walmart, your kingdom must come down."
Most of them were not Walmart employees but are asking the company to pay all workers at least $15 an hour. Walmart says it pays full-time workers an average of $12.94 an hour.
It is the third year in a row that union-backed groups organized Black Friday protests at some Walmart locations.

All this rubber padding of our cells has to be paid for by somebody.
Of course, this Rent A Mob wasn’t paid anything near $15/hour, or even half of that.
