  1. You know I can not stand people who line jump or take things, I will get it back, a few years ago my then 12 year old went to go get the Bob the Builder talking dolls that was a door buster at Walmart, as I stood in a different line, Well she turned to get something else and some one took it out of her cart. This was her present to her baby brother, Well let me tell you did she learn. The next few years she did different things, but through the years she evolved into an excellent black friday shopper. who will help any one, last year she stood and handed out DVD players so no one would get rushed, well after she had mine and my mother in laws, she runs and gets things for me and others in the line that I am in. But shove her or push her and you will see a different 19 year old. Now, as I saw in Target after a pushed her into a shelf. And cussed my kid out, I think that was the first time I had heard my kid say choice 4 letter words.
  2. Happy pills help every time
  3. My daughter too her lap top to college and all we had to do was buy the software from the school to upload on her computer. The school did offer computers but we got a better deal at Best Buy
  4. Well while waiting for the lap tops at walmart, People would try and cut the line which twisted around half the inside of the store. I was number 6 and the first 10 of us decided that no one was getting in front or behind us. they came from every isle but we spotted them and yelled out line cutter at three oclock, we were very good at it, that Walmart employees were standing there tell them you really dont want to try to cut in front of any of them,. Besides they knew who the first 20 were since we had been there some of us starting at 12:00am my walmart is 24 hours and we were waiting inside by where they were going to be selling them
  5. I guess my story is different, two years ago it was the DVD players, I was in line for one and my daughter and her friend were running to get other things I wanted, They were also taking orders for people waiting in line with me, that year it was the Care bears. and a few other things, so those girls did the running for people waiting in line for the DVD players and gameboy advances Then there was a lady behind me who needed 4 game boy advances for her Grand kids and the limit was 2 per person, So I bought her the other two since I didnt need any. We did the same thing last year as I waited for the lap top the girls did the running again and they also helped some get cabbage patch kids and DVD players that were on a pallets. Then to watch my 18 year daughter stand up to a lady that was nasty I swear we thought she was going to swing and then her daughter came up behind mine and was going to start crap, She didnt see me or her brother and I just said in my Management voice that I have you really do not want to do that. I would advise you to just keep on walking on by
