Although I did not make it out on BF last year (my second son was being born), my two previous BF adventures match up with crazysister's post. In '04, I was third in line at the laptop checkout counter (I had already received a ticket outside) and it took me TWO hours to get out of the store with just that lone purchase. It was un-freakin'-believable!! The employees run each & every customer through a gauntlet of addons & upsells and for some reason, creates a "pre-receipt" while you are waiting to get to the real cash register. Once you get there, if the cashier notices that you didn't choose to buy an extended warranty, they'll badger you some more about it. It ruined my plans to go to other stores that BF. This year, I being a bit more realistic in what I plan on accomplishing. I'm just planning on BB with a stop on the way home to Ace to pick up some cheap batteries. Thanks, jawgee
