I'm happy to hear that all ended well for you and the hubby but I don't think it was just your Wal-Mart. I believe many of them have incompetent management. We got to our nearby Wal-Mart at 5 am and, like you, expected the sales to start off then. Well they began dropping their sale merchandise around 4 am also, so many people were caught by surprise and chaos reigned supreme. My sister-in-law missed out on some items she wanted but she took it all in stride. We initially had intended on being there earlier for that laptop but found out ahead of time that it wasn't compatible for what my daughter wanted to use it for...games of course
so we grabbed a desktop computer 2 days prior...Thank goodness. Would have been highly upset otherwise. Just can't believe these people don't think about what havoc they can cause when they jump the gun like that and especially when they have no kind of order, such as a line. Craziness!!
Again, glad that your OK and yeah!! for you and your hubby for sticking to your guns and getting that darn laptop
