Tough for those who have to wait in line. It's a perk if the company (or particular store) lets you do it. You don't work there, and until the advent of this and other sites, only a select few management or ad handlers got the early up on what would be on sale for Black Friday. Now that it can be seen as fair game for ads to become public knowledge weeks in advance, even the associates have to battle for items as well. If you're willing to wait 6 hours for a store to open for a laptop or even choice power tools, you're better than I am in that respect. If I manage to tuck one away for myself, again, it's a perk. You'll get to hit several stores and wait in many lines. I'm stuck there working on year 6 of not getting to partake in doing the same. If the cost of that hassle is a nice little drill for $10that you don't get...that's even better. Don't get me wrong. If wherever an employee works has to work has to find someone to stand in the line for hours because they have to be fair, I could see where people could agree. If the employee is single or has no family, they are shut out if they're working that shift completely. That's also unfortunate. Not that I'm bitter or anything. I'll love my drill.
