   Shoppers Undeterred By Walmart Protests   
   Walmart Has Its BEST Black Friday Ever   
   Reuters: OUR Walmart, an organization backed by the United Food &   
   Commercial Workers (UFCW) union, said it expected employees in 100   
   cities to walk off the job on "Black Friday," the unofficial start of   
   the holiday shopping season that accounts for up to one-half of   
   retailers' profits.   
   At a Walmart on Chicago's South Side, just one employee from the   
   store's nearly 500 staff took part in the demonstration, according to   
   Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer.   
   "We estimate that less than 50 associates participated in the protest   
   nationwide. In fact, this year, roughly the same number of associates   
   missed their scheduled shift as last year," Walmart U.S. Chief   
   Executive Bill Simon said in a statement.   
   For its part, Walmart said it recorded its best Black Friday ever,   
   with more shoppers than last year and nearly 10 million register   
   transactions between 8 p.m. Thursday and 12 a.m. Friday morning. Among   
   other items, it sold more than 1.8 million towels, 1.3 million TVs and   
   some 250,000 bicycles.
