Reporter best buy wouldnt say if their head start on black friday is truly helping holiday sales but these shoppers are pleased with that they are digging up so far. I have two hard drives, three terabytes, only 100 each. Reporter not everyone is buying on black friday.

Allen, tonight at 6 00, well show you inside that Old Navy Store where they are about to wrap up 29 straight hours of shopping madness. Over think deserve a break as do all the they deserve a break as do all the black friday shoppers. The deals began on thanksgiving night. One shopper took cell phone video of the line outside the target in fremont, wrapped around the store. And then goes on for a while. Some shoppers said they waited in line, they shopped and then they came back later for a second helping. We already finished our first round of shopping, went home, waited three, four hours, to come back out because the other stores dont open until 6 a. M. Did they sell anything . Look at the empty shelves many people took advantage of the deals on the iphones and the ipads. On black friday there were protests around the country accusing walmart of having a black heart. Even santa claus got arrested at one of them. Linda yee is in san leandro to explain what the fuss was all about.

[ chanting ] reporter several dozen demonstrators protested. Some were walmart workers, many supporters who work at other minimum wage jobs. They are accusing the retail giant of paying what they call poverty wages. Walmart employee Derek Sanders says he needs two jobs to survive. Most workers he says barely make over the minimum wage of 8 an hour. We are trying to bring awareness to the customers and management as well to let them know that the pay is really low and its hard to make a living in california in the bay area. Reporter walmart employs 1. 3 Million People in the united states. They tell a different story in a nationwide ad campaign. I get bonuses even working part time. Reporter walmart says its average employee gets paid just over 13 an hour but that includes its managers wages. We pay in the top half of retail. Our industry offers the opportunity for people to enter at really any life stage from 16 all the way to, you know, 76 if they would like to. And then they work hard and they can build a career. Reporter this woman says she is happy with her salary. I believe that, you know, to be able to reach your goal if you have to work hard to be dedicated and walmart is supporting all those goals. Reporter some fulltime workers are also on government assistance. Pam davis was fired last summer from the hilltop walmart after complaining about low wages. Why not just work somewhere else . No. You know what . I tucked my tail and ran a lot of times. This time im taking a stance and im speaking up for the people that are afraid to speak up. Reporter organizers of these rallies, which were held at Walmart Stores nationwide, say they are also calling for fairer schedules and affordable healthcare. Live in san leandro, linda yee, kpix 5. As we mentioned, santa, or someone dressed like him at least, was handcuffed outside a walmart in Southern California. About 150 people many of them workers chanted outside this ontario store. At one point the protestors started blocking traffic. That is when police started making arrests. Well, whatever you ran into at the mall today, it was probably mild compared to this. [ screaming ] pushing me, pushing me ah thats how it started. Things then got insane at a georgia walmart all over hp tablets. Employees were wheeling out those tablets warning customers to wait. As you can see, nobody listened to that. Chaos broke out as they swarmed the workers, the police and each other to get the tablets. [ screaming ] did you hear that noise .

I gave him the money and i started taking the money let me bag it for you. So started bagging it. You should double bag it. The clerk even tells the robber to go grab some beer. Thats kind of when things fall apart. The robber drops the bag and the gun. He picks it up, runs out, fumbles the beer outside, even throws a bottle in disgust. But then the officer arrives. The crook slowly stands uptakes off, thats when the cash goes flying. He finally is taken into custody trading those silver bullets for silver bracelets. Look who showed up to ridge the closing bell on wall street today. Santa brought the shortened trading session to an end. The dow and s p 500 both slipped while the nasdaq was up. Despite an off day, the markets logged their 8th consecutive winning week. Well, gift cards are a popular item on black friday lists. But theres kind of a strategy i guess to shop for them.

Look out for some of the promotions. Reporter Mark Locastro of deal news says if you play your cards rights, many restaurants offer bonus cards and coupons with every gift card purchase.

Reporter it is a nightmare let me tell you, if we didnt have Media Parking, we would not be here reporting live. It took us i would say the better part of an hour just to get to the parking lot. Old my dogs. The old Media Parking trick. [ laughter ] wink, wink. Well, rather than dealing with trying to find a parking spot, a lot of people opted to take the ferry to San Francisco. Our crisp clear day providing some ideal conditions for crowds heading to the city. He is from the east bay. Instead of commuters, though, the ferry is filled with families or shoppers people simply just out there playing tourist. We have a cousin thats here from oregon. And we very rarely take a ferry ride into the city. And what a Beautiful Day and the special occasion so were just going to go to pier 39 and look around and enjoy ourselves.

You can find it on a street between fourth and fifth avenue. Its part of the citys 34th annual parade of lights and winterland celebration. Sledding ends tomorrow at noon. Warm as it was, hopefully it lasts. Right. It was in the mid and high 60s right there around san rafael. But that wonderful woman i have a cousin in oregon and we wanted to take the ferry into San Francisco and how many places can you do that in late november . Right here. We are averaging temperatures between 4 and 8 degrees above normal even in oakland as much as 10 degrees above where we should be for this time of the year. But if you are heading to San Francisco, theres a look at coit tower. Clear skies grab a jacket. The temperatures are dropping off like a rock livermore currently 60 after a high today of 70. San francisco in the mid50s. Its 62 degrees in santa rosa. The winds are slight. Todays highs anywhere from 62 degrees in pacifica to 70 in santa rosa. It was actually 71 degrees in livermore through pleasanton, danville and blackhawk. 70 in fairfield. But morgan hill reported 73 degrees bested by gilroy at 77. Wow, tonight, falling off into the 40s across the board except 51 degrees in the city by the bay. 45 in mountain view. Heres what you need to know. As we wrap up the last day of november, tomorrow, we will have lots of sunshine. A repeat performance pretty much a carbon copy from what we experienced today. Thats after a little bit of patchy fog developed overnight. This is that area of low pressure that produced that minimal risk of a shower on thanksgiving. It continues to spin off the Southern California coast. Behind it, stagnation. Not a whole lot going on. Thats why we are calling for nothing but sunshine across the northern half of the state of california for your saturday. State capital, 67 degrees. 50 in the south shore territory after a morning low anticipated of 20 degrees. Okay, oakland, average high 59. Tomorrow 69 degrees. Going for 67 degrees in concord. 68 degrees in san jose. Down from todays high of 70. Again, mid60s in fremont, milpitas, union city. 67 degrees around concord, clayton and walnut creek. And it looks like its going to be the fourth spare the air day of this winter season especially north of the Golden Gate Bridge where the atmosphere will be a little bit on the hazy side. A little compromise due to the fireplaces. You cant use them tomorrow. You cant use them tonight, as well. Monday is a transition day. Tuesday cloudy, a slight chance of rain. But from tuesday through thursday, its a cold front minimal chances of rain. Lots of cold air. Take a look at your wednesday. 52 degrees in the inland areas. And thats an outside number. Most of us will have 40s. So get out your winter jacket. You will need it in the upcoming days. Its kind o fun. It gets you in the holiday spirit. Ho ho ho [ laughter ] well, kids can be tough so you cant blame a 4yearold for being scared to wear glasses. I said, put your glasses on. And he just broke into tears. But wait until you see how his mom got strangers to help him feel special about his specs. , ng to webcam it can be hard for some people to squeeze in those trips to the gym during the holidays. Now many are turning to webcam workouts. They are using computers or smartphones to connect with a virtual trainer. Workouts are done with skype or face time and since trainers dont have to rent space or travel, its sometimes a little more affordable and convenient to work out online. It can be done in a park, in the office, at home. Well, one downside trainers say, its harder to correct a clients mistakes online. But they say its far better than using an exercise video or app. All right. For some of us, wearing glasses is just part of the deal as you get older, right . But when youre 4 years old and youre told you have to wear glasses, of course you think everybody is going to laugh at you. At least thats what 4yearold noah fisher in South Carolina thought. So his mom went online looking for a little support for her son. She set up this Facebook Page called, glasses for noah. I just checked. That page has nearly 12,000 likes now. Wow. It was very humbling to see how the community kind of like they took time out of their days to post a picture of themselves for a little boy that half of them probably dont even know. Noahs mom just posted the facebook wont let her post any more pictures that supporters have sent in. They have gotten that many. But she says she would like to give everyone who sent one and their dog a big hug. I love glasses. I wish i had to wear them. Geek chic. Its so distinguished looking. I love them.
