Im new here. Well I have browsed the forum but just registered today.
Anyway...... Last year my husband and I went out for the $200 laptop at BB, (yeah right). I wasnt a big BF shopper before that so I didnt realize the insanity before last year lol.
We headed out probably about 10 pm, the line was around the building already, tents, portapottys etc. We waited a couple hours but gave up and left. We also wanted the hard drives from Staples so we decided to head over there, this was probably 4 or 5 am. There was hardly any line at all so we hop in line, probably the 5th people to the front. AWESOME!!!!!!!! I think they were opening at 7am? So we wait. The guys came out with tickets for GPS and something else and we asked if they had tickets for the hard drives to which they said no, there is a lot of them. Ok fine, no big deal we thought we are right at the front it shouldnt be a problem. Doors open and it wasnt too bad really at first, we get inside and the IDIOT manager says ok everything is behind the customer counter to avoid mobbing and we are supposed to follow this worker around in a line through the store and come back around to the counter. Everyone starts following this girl and we get near the counter which is now packed FULL of customers (using the word lightly). The GPS GONE! The hard drives, GONE, Everything else GONEEEEEE! All the people from outside came in ran up to the counter without tickets mind you and bought everything while the manager had us playing follow the leader. We were SOOOOOOOOOOO MAD. Everyone is screaming at this dumbass who refused to give rainchecks or anything. It was a mess. I wouldnt be surprised if that guy lost his job.
BTW I live in Minnesota and BF last year it was FREEEEEEZING! I ended up buying things I could have gone out at 3 pm for after standing outside in -30 degree weather for things we didnt end up with anyway UGH!
