Waiting for the ads The suspense is killing me Gottadeal for me

In the midwest we have a department store chain called Younkers. Does this site ever get their Black Friday ad? I believe they are part of the Herberegers, Bon Temps chain.

It was the year of the Furby madness. Wal-Mart had advertised that a limited number of Furby toys would be available on black Friday. My mother and I wanted to go to Wal-Mart first that morning for some other advertised items. We were not wanting a Furby. Anyway, we arrived shortly before they opened. There was a huge line. It appeared some people had camped outside all night. There were a couple of police cars parked near the doors. It looked like it could get ugly so we decided to wait in the car until the line went inside. Now, I had a relative that worked at this Wal-Mart. She said that the Furby's were stacked in a pyramid on the customer service counter which was right inside the door. They had assigned a couple of workers to ask customers if they wanted a Furby and were planning on handing them out as the line progressed through the door. Anyway, here is what happened as I was told by my relative who took it in from inside the store. The manager unlocked a door only to have the line stampede through it. They broke the door and mobbed towards the Furby pyramid. The workers were so afraid they jumped behind the customer service counter and began lobbing Furby's into the mob. Very quickly they were gone. Two women had grabbed the same Furby and were rolling on the floor pounding on each other. One even bit the other woman's arm. People were actually arrested over Furby toys. It was the most shocking thing we have ever encountered on black Friday
