Eff Black Friday

Not sure because I've never done it before, but I think that they have Best Buy employees come out and ask you what you're waiting in line for and then they hand you a slip with a number on it to ensure you receive the goods you're waiting for.

Ahhh, OK. I've always wondered that every year because when we visit my in-laws in Orlando for Thanksgiving, people are camped there 3 days before Black Friday and I'm like, "What's keeping me from showing up when the store opens?"

Pssh 3 days? I just read an article about people waiting in line 9 days before Black Friday to get into Best Buy.

So question about camping out:

What prevents people from just showing up at the door as soon as the store opens? Best Buy doesn't exactly have a "Line Forms Here" sign... I'm sure people might be waiting with their faces smashed against the door, but the people camping days in advance can't really stop people from getting in front of them can they?

well, whats to stop someone from smashing their face in?

BB usually tickets an hour or two before open, at least the one year i was there at 2am.

couldn't they work min wage and just be better off? the deals just aren't that good.

Agreed but you know people are crazy. 9 days? They better be offering 55 inch 3d hdtv's for free for me to wait in line 9 days in front of a store.

****ing idiots out there.

Yes it does bring out all the idiots at once. Around here many places were open on Thanksgiving afternoon. At about 3:00, both Walmarts Here, Sears, JC Penneys, and certain stores at the mall were open.

I guess it becomes black Thursday, or their attempt to eliminate black friday. There were just as many people lined up waiting for the stores at 3:00, as there probably were on friday morning. I think it blows beacuse now the people who work in retail don't get a day off for thanksgiving, since the stores are all open on Thursday.

I find it funny many want to crucify corporations for their actions, but then turn around and do stuff like this.? How about some of these idiots looking in the mirror.

My Brother and I had our eyes set on the $200 40 inch TV's from Best Buy but then at around 7:00 PM I saw on the local news that people had been lining up since 11 AM and at best they would only have 50 TV's. I'm still looking to get a 36+ inch in the $250 to $350 price range. You'd think the 720p TV's would be a little less expensive these days but a lot of them are in the $400 range.

You can find a 1020 36" for under $400 if you look. Fu^K BB they suck and I would not go in that store if they had 36" TV's for $100. They lost my business over a stupid $49 item that never worked and they would not give me a new one or warranty because it had been over 30 days.
