Last year, on the way to work, on a whim, I stopped off at Target. I go to work early enough that the store was almost opening. I parked off to the side, not too far away, waited maybe 5 mnutes before the line moved. It was slow, but really not bad. I grabbed a cart and got half of our Christmas shopping done and bought a little HDTV (26") that I had been debating. I've had bad experiences before, but this was fine and almost a little relaxed. I even gave a shopper buying Guitar Hero advice about an online sale I knew about.
