There is no target is San Marcos. There is one is Escondido off Auto or Vista off Sycamore.

My store on BF did not ticket and items except for the front page. After waiting in line for two days and being in the top 6 (arrived wed. @ noon), we were told to go to the back and wait in line for any laptops. They had decided the were going to let people walk down an isle and grab the laptop of their choice one at a time. However they did do a very good job making sure the other people in the store didn't grab one in the chaos. Then after seeing how long this process was taking, they decided to open to other "registers" in the "laptop isle" So two other lines formed, but it was not the front people in the 1st line. Needless to say, my line got held up by a customer paying and the other two lines of people that arrived that morning got all the HP's. Plus every computer was optimized at $99 above the ad price. When we talked to the manager and said it was unfair, she called in the police... I am a teacher and there were bad words or screaming. So after being escorted out. We called the media. Fox news came by interviewed us and the manager. After being put in an awkward position, she decided to give our group and the group of two people in front of us a $200 g/c.

Ok so let me get this straight, because I spend almost 24 hrs in line to get a laptop and desktop I am one of those "good people" who should just stay home. Funny! Guess I am greedy because every year I do the sale to get stuff for my elementary school classroom. Teaching in a lower income neighborhood means that I can't get stuff for my students unless I buy it myself because the school has such a low budget and the parents don't have the income to donate things. I never knew providing technology items to my students who don't have the means to get them is a bad thing. Too bad one year, someone at the store I was at decided to get a voucher for every item too and that eliminated my chance at getting a computer. One time when I got a voucher for an item and decided not to get it, I was offered money from someone but told them I was giving it to the employee for him to determine who gets it. Sorry to vent, but after reading that most

I believe there was an emachine desktop for $299 in the best buy add.

Congrats to all the winners. Everyone in my family and I entered for Los Angeles but no luck.

I am from Simi Valley so I am hoping no one is lined up yet!!!

What area was the local news covering that already showed people lining up?
