wnc_mom Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Every year me and my "crew" lol try to be first in line at tru. Every year except last year(overwhelming response from zhu zhu pets) we were in the first 10 or so. And everyear even last they counted off people in 5's this system really helps with getting shopping carts,as well as stampedes lol Do any other stores use this system?
areno79 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Our TRU did this last year...but by the time we got in there it was still crazy! It kept everyone from stampeding the door, but didn't do anything for the craziness inside the store.
Cargirl Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I have been going to a Mall in Laughlin NV and I am usually one of the 1st 10 in line but as the doors open everyone rushes the doors and the line is gone. It is a little dangerous but I still keep going
sherril Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 our Walmarts and TRU usually hav police there. I think Best Buy does too but I havent braved that store in years. Our Best Buy is a war zone the entire day.
gingerlynn Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 The TRU here does no such thing and I wish they did, As soon as the doors open if you don't have a cart you can bypass the people that are pushing one. We learned over the years one person takes the cart and the other goes in the bypassing line. If you don't do it you end up being the 50th person entering the store, when you where the 25th or less in line. The last 2 years at TRU has been almost dangerous. Last year there was a group of ladies in the very front of the line..that continually had people joining them in line.....(When we arrived we where like the 20th people in line. By time the doors opened we where 34.) The people farther behind us where literally going up to the people in front arguing screaming,( which in turn got the whole entire line in a uproar) cops where called 3 different times..... I've never seen such hostility for shopping before!(I blame it on the ZHU ZHU, LOL) Don't get me wrong my mom has gotten off work and joined me in line before...But Ive never had more than one person join me after Iv'e been in line. I also made sure to tell the people around me that my mom is meeting me etc... But when 14 people get ahead of you in like a 3 hour window. It really pisses people off! They should have line control as well. The Target does have line control and monitoring when entering the store. I noticed one year that people just sat in there car until it opened and instead of waiting in the line they just walk up to enter in. Target is the only store I've seen make the people go to the end of line.
bigjimslade Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 My BB calls out the police and they send a Tac Unit out. our Walmarts and TRU usually hav police there. I think Best Buy does too but I havent braved that store in years. Our Best Buy is a war zone the entire day.
lolitablue Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Last year, Target blocked the halls with boxes so people were not allowed to run around the store. They also loaded the heavier items on carts so people would not have to run around the store pushing carts!! Very impressive!
