Will we be able to buy more than one item we are standing in line for? I'm needing 2 laptops. Will I be able to get 2 or will it just be 1 item per customer?
Michelle
Just 1. Bring a kid or a friend.

The only thing that is for certain is that ALL Wal-Mart stores handle it different. It's best to ask the manager of the store you will be at about how things will be handled.
You are right about that. Our WM never wraps the pallets anymore. They bring them out and let us put them in our carts, we just can't pay until the sale actually starts. This has been great at our store and has cut down on the confusion since we can just get stuff as we come in the door instead of rushing and grabbing when the store is full.

I'm in Western MA and was told today that our Walmart will NOT be opening at midnight but at 5am.

I spoke with my local store and was told they are not doing wristbands. There will be Q lines set up around the store for the 5 am items. Large items like tv's will have a ticket, but that's about all they knew for sure. They don't know where items will be located....
I just called my 24 hour store. The manager told me the same thing about the Q lines. This is the second year they are doing the Q lines.They've had other doorbuster Q lines like this through out the year and this has worked well for them. AND you are allowed to leave the line(have someone hold your place) and return. Don't know if that would be a good idea though. They will not hand out any tickets/wristbands. As far as placement of items he told me to check walmart.com Thanksgiving Day for the maps. I'll probably check earlier though.
BUT when I called the Reg. Walmart she said they will hand out some type of ticket for the 5am items. So like others said, call your local store.

Your best bet would be to ask for a manager.
I tried asking at customer service and electronics and they were all clueless about bf. They didn't know the sale starts at midnight and one said they wouldn't even be open until 5 and it's a 24hr. store. I was beside myself about the lack of knowledge. Anyone else running into this? How can they not even know by now that the sale starts at midnight?
I may go to the next town and forget this walmart.

My gut feeling after talking with most of the management is expect a headache like a few years back before they did the line Q's. I expect a madhouse at midnight. People are already planning on lining up at 6pm on Thanksgiving.
Yep, WM has practically gone full circle and now we're back to the madhouse again. Last year was good. This year is going to stink. Long lines waiting outside and a mad dash and scramble when doors open. Phooey!
I just want a bike, some girls jeans, and some $1.96 movies. LOTR to be exact. But it may not be worth it. I might just skip it all together and wait at Target instead.

I have seen rumors floating around about a 50" 87.99 tv from walmart in the first hour? any truth to this?
if this is true oh my god it is going to be a mob !! even if it is a older model tv I know for myself I would be interested for our movie room where the kids have toys and game systems set up. I think that there will be a stampede with the sales starting at midnight and 5 am let alone other specials like the one you are hearing....guess we will see !!
