I won't be working BF this year, but have 5 years of BF under my belt, working at BB. I actually didn't mind it too much. It all depends on the customers. As long as they are understanding that it is the biggest shopping day and that there are going to be lines, it goes well. When you have customers fighting over items and being rude, that's when it sucks. Since I've been working BF the past 6 years I can't really comment on how it is at other stores. But I think the 2 BB's I worked at have done a good job getting and staying organized. My last BF at BB for a while all I did was cary a basket with accessories and small stuff trying to add to their sale. That was fun, getting to interact with the customers. Same thing for handing out tickets for the doorbusters. I loved doing that as again, I got to interact with the customers. Although it sucked getting up so early, I preferred to work the opening shift. The day actually goes by pretty fast, since it's so busy. After the doorbusters end it slows way down to where it's just like a busy weekend day. That's when it can start to drag and you feel tired. The store also does a good job of taking care of the employees by providing food and drinks. It seemed more like a party than work. As much as I enjoyed it, I'm more looking forward to this year when I can actually go out and shop!!

Where?? I don't see it on BB's site. Nor do I see any 26" on Westy's site.

I was wondering about that too, figured it had to be a mistake. But if you look at the ad, it doesn't actually say that Battlefront 2 is $12.99. The $12.99 price is on part of the 4 games. So it's possible that BF2 isn't part of the $12.99 group. Hard to tell for sure with how they have the ad.

This will be my first holiday season since 1999 that I wasn't working retail. The first 5 years were at Best Buy and last year was CompUSA. Although I technically didn't work the holidays last year. The way I got out of working BF at Comp last year was this... My shift started at 2 PM. I walked in at 1:45 and told the manager I quit. It was something I almost did Wednesday night before I left. I just didn't agree with the way they conducted business. I must admit, it felt really good to quit on BF!
