Shoppers only expect it because stores keep getting earlier & earlier. I remember when I was like 20 years old, (16 years ago now!) My Dad and I used to get up at 4am, get ready, go out, get coffee and hit up the stores at 5am when they opened on Friday. That was so fun for us. If you wait until 5am now-a-days, you'll miss all the 'good sales'. Thats the STORES, not the shoppers faults. Last year getting out at midnight to stand in FREEZING cold 1/2 mile long lines outside a store for 5 hours because they are going to have ipod touches on sale for $195 but only a limited supply was not fun and not very convenient for us. LOL I would have gladly waited until 5am for 'good sales' again!
