I actually was one of those crazy, insane people at Wal-Mart this morning. I was very surprised because it was organized this time. As soon as I walked in the door, the greeter handed me a map of the store and where each item would be located. All of the lines were very organized. They repeatedly announced the number of each item available. Even after that people chose to stay standing there in line when it was clear they were beyond the number available. I arrived at 4:20 am and only saw a few people who looked like they may have been there a while. I asked one of the cashier's how long she had been there and she said she arrived at 3am and the store was empty. I did not witness any fights. Thank goodness. I seem to go only every other year because it takes me a year to recover. I am not a morning person on a good day. Our store only had 16 laptops, 43 game boy's, 75 mp3's and 140 portable dvd player's. The last one is what I went for. I was home and back in bed by 6:45. I almost always take my other ads with me and have Wal-Mart match the prices so I can limit myself to one store.
I am very glad you made it out alive and intact. You are lucky your husband was there with you. My wouldn't go for the world. He thinks I am crazy. I would have to fend for myself if an altercation took place. |
