I'm jealous of you squeak! Let us know what you get...
I was a Sales Manager at Best Buy for 3 years until moving to a 9-5 job away from retail a few months ago. As a management team, we spent several 60-70 hour weeks leading up to "Green Friday" (as we called it) planning and prepping. There is SOO much more that goes into the preparation than most people realize.
When the tickets were handed out and then the door opens a couple hours later...that is the BIGGEST adrenaline rush I've ever experienced. You have such contol of everything normally, but when those doors open at 5AM, its just an amazing high to try to direct hundreds of people every several minutes. Its pandemonium. But 98-99% of the customers leave happy, which made it so worth it. Part of me misses it, part of me will enjoy being a shopper rather than an employee!
