Years ago, my first Black Friday stop was Walmart. They had a Nintendo Game Cube bundle deal. The sale started at 7:00 am. I had to park in another business' parking lot and walk to the store. I was able to find the Game Cube, bulk stacked in electronics, and Walmart associates were handing them out. I was trying to make it to Best Buy for the early morning specials so I knew I had to check out fast at Walmart.
Self checkout lanes can be real timesavers. For some unknown reason, the Walmart faithful were avoiding the self checkout lanes. At 7:20 am. I walked right up to a self checkout lane and checked out. I walked the half mile back to my car and made the drive to Best Buy where I promptly waited an hour and a half to check out. Best Buy needs self checkout lanes!
