On what basis? They wouldn't drop what they were doing to help you in front of other people because you're covered under the ADA? I know their stores are accessible.

Are you sure it wasn't a 2 day sale? If so, it's your own fault for forgetting about it.

It seemed like the people at the Lenox store in Atlanta knew what they were doing and the CC's were running ok. However, their receipt printer seemed slower than the dot matrix I had 20years ago.

That's what a concealed weapons permit is for. :) The police have absolutely no responsibility to protect you as an individual. Take your safety into your own hands.

But then you would have people circling like vultures and at midnight it would be a mad rush. This is recipe for someone to get seriously hurt.

If they're concerned their people will get hurt, each store could hire a couple of security guards (perhaps one armed and one not) to police the crowd. Perhaps even a couple of off duty cops. Even at $100/hr total for both, it would be only $1500 to have them stationed there from 3pm until 6am on BF. Not only would that help in keeping the line in order (handing out numbers, keeping out crashers, etc) but it would be a hell of a good PR move to ensure the safety of the shoppers, Some of which probably have some serious cash on them. The one time I did an overnight campout in Atlanta, I was carrying a Glock 9mm in a shoulder holster with an extra magazine (yes, I do have a state-issued concealed carry permit).

I went in at 9pm Thanksgiving and asked for a price match. Was originally told "no" by the front end supervisor because they couldn't call and verify. The GM came over and said "Sure, we can do that." Adjusted to $199 before rebate for myself and one other guy.
