How long did you WAIT in LINE today? - 11-25-2011, 05:48 PM


BLACK FRIDAY SALES

What time did you start?
Where did you stand in line?
How long did you stand in line?
Did you see any crazy thing happen?
What did you buy?

Thursday night 10:30, FAILED could not GET IN!
I went to Walmart, Best Buy and Target
DID NOT STAND in LINE, went home!
Crazy PEOPLE cutting and potty mouth!
I went back to Best Buy @ 2:00 am in the morning and I did not have to stand in line and I also FOUND everything that people had to stand in line for 3 days!!!!

thanks.....

I was going to get up at 3:00 a.m. and head to Sears to get a new dishwasher. After my wife said that she wanted to see it before we bought one, I decided against getting her up that early. Ended up going around 10:00 a.m. with no lines and bought the one that I was going to get up early for.

We went to Walmart at 10, kohls at 12am, ToysRus, Macy's, Old Navy, and Gap.

We spent about 2 hours in lines but used some veteren skills to skip most. At walmart, we went to Automotive where there was Zero line(no one knew that there was a clerk and he sure as hell wasn't going to announce it) The check out lines were hour+ long at Walmart.

At kohls, if you apply for credit they let you out of line to check out in the back. Of course I was declined(hmmm, seems I flip-flopped my ssn) but I didn't have to wait in line, it wrapped around the whole store.

Screw that mess! I was on the road home on Friday. We drove by Wally World in Lampasas and Sweetwater, parking lots were not full, drove by one here in Lubbock - the mall as well; and HOLY CRAP!
Lesson learned: Go shopping in a small town.

I'll do most (if not all) of mine online. You won't catch me EVER in a Walmart.

I'm asking Santa for a new tripod. Looking in the B&H catalog now (it's like a grown-up toy catalog!)

Cheers!
