Whats more fun than getting up at at 5:45am to go fight crowds and spend money?
Coming back at 2pm to clean it up, that’s what.
Yeah, I got up early to get some deals at Staples. There were about one hundred people outside waiting when we got there, and the store opened a minute or two after. It was a mad rush to grab everything worth having and get checked out. I needed 4 USB flash drives, but I was limited to one per customer. I grabbed two and had dad ring out with one. He also wanted to get the Samsung 19″ LCD that was on sale for $200.
Well, I watched the drives get ripped off the shelves and the LCD monitors get handed out to anyone with an opposable thumb. They had all the good deals lined up behind the service desk, so everyone flocked there. The only was to describe it is to relate it to the floor at the NYSE.

Everyone was standing around the desk yelling out what they wanted. If you got lucky someone handed it to you. since I work there, Jo Ann saw me and gave me what I wanted. It was nice to have some sort of connection and get things quicker.
