I seriously hate Black Friday for doing regular shopping. We were having a Thanksgiving party and we walked to Wal Mart at like 4AM, wasted to get some Pizza Rolls. We just happened to walk past the electronics section to get to the food area, and we were pestered by like 3 groups of people waiting in line for stuff. "Hey, you better not be cutting" "Hey, the back of the line is over here". Fvcking people.

That gives me a great idea! Go taunt some sucker standing in line--What's he gonna do? Chase after you and lose his place? :evil:

I'll be doing a drive by of BB/CC/CUSA in about an hour, it will be interesting to see how many people are in line.

 

[EstimateMe]

Sigh....

I really just want the $79 mag monitor at BB for my parents, the $4.99 100pack of DVD-R's for me, and maybe the Samsung mini dv camcorder for $129 at BB for my brother who will be going to Iraq.

I'm going to get to the store about 30 minutes before it opens with my Nintendo DS and just see what happens

Here's an AIM away message of someone I know.

Spent 9 hours waiting outside bestbuy 11AM-8.00pm
Brothers took over while i ate dinner

now I'm heading back.

wow.....

I've given up on getting any of Best Buy's deals. I am heading over to Micro Center tomorrow to get an $89.99 X2gen 19" monitor instead. I've been wanting a dual LCD monitor system for a while now.

Best Buy is such a let-down on these sales. I am not standing in line for 20 hours in the cold to save $100. That's less than minimum wage plus there is no guarantee I would get what I was standing in line for anyway. :thumbsdown:

Best Buy is the devil. :evil:

You will have no problem iwth the DVD-R's. They'll have tons of those. TONS.

 

[uhohs]

way too many people in line already at the 3 BB i checked. i gave up.

 

[purbeast0]

yea WTF dude ... I'm in maryland and there are like over 100 peole at the BB's around me. I was going to go at like 3am and wait but i dunno anymore. i may just go at like 4:30 and if i get what i want, i do ... if i don't, its only 30 mins i wasted.

rumor though is that they will have wii's and ps3's tomorrow too, so i wonder if people are waiting for those too. it's kinda weird though cause its not like all 100 pepole are waiting for 1 thing. so i don't really know what to make of this. i wonder if enough people are waiting for what i want to make my deal be gone by the time i get in the store.

how does bb's blackfriday work anyways? does an employee come around at like 4:30 and ask what everyone wants? or do people do mad dashes to the departments they wanna go to?

Meh, it's not so bad. Atleast when you have a couple lesbians sitting next to you.

are they naked and making out or something?

Well there was the kissing when the first one left for a bathroom break; qand when she returned and the other left we had the "sit her with the blankets like this to keep warm just feel my legs" followed by a hand going, let's just say under the cover.

You're so full of sh!t I can smell you from here.

11/23/2006 11:30 PM PST UPDATE:

The following took place Thursday 11/23/2006 between 9PM-11:30 PM PST.

CompUSA - we got there around 8:50 PM while it was raining and stood in line for a whopping 10 minutes. There were already over 350 people in line and once the doors opened everyone was very orderly. That's when the real fun begins. My primary mission was to buy the Linksys wireless router and FAR bluetooth headset, that's it. When we entered the store I made the mistake of turning left instead of right. Eventually I discovered the bluetooth headsets sold out in right after the doors opened, if only I had turned right instead of left. But I did score a Linksys wireless router for $19.99, soaked in the mayhem and chaos then made a beeline to the cashier. We were done and out of the store by 9:30 PM which is pretty impressive.

Toys R Us - none

Target - no one was waiting in line. They were all waiting in their warm dry cars and I don't blame them. Relax there were only 3 cars in the entire parking lot.

Linens-N-Things - none

Circuit City - around 8 people

Wal-Mart 1 - around 4 people

Wal-Mart 2 - none

Best Buy - The first person got in line at 2:30 PM and the others started ariving around 4:00PM. When I arrived at 11:20 PM there were over 100 people in line.

If you're on the west coast and haven't left yet. It's pretty safe to assume your BB is already packed. Try Wal-Mart then Circuit City.

I think the lines will start filling up around 1AM and will go into full throttle between AM - 3:00 AM.
