ok.....do you think its the earlier times or the economy? I mean, are there more NEW BF shoppers this year, do you think?
Probably both. I think the earlier times brought out a lot more people needing goods deals. Some people no matter the deal just can't/won't get up at 4 am to hit the stores.

I drove by two Targets and those lines surprised me. The assessment of our little group is that it was a weak ad. I was going to pick up little things and was surprised that at both the lines wrapped around the building. The one I went into was very well-organized. They are truly working on crowd control and it was a pleasant experience. The 20 at a time worked (I kind of helped the security people by hanging back to create a new group, no rush here!). It was much easier to navigate the store and checkout was quick and painless. I didn't get into the store until 20 after opening but was out in less than 10 minutes.
I was also surprised by lines at stores I wouldn't have expected. A Carson's off the highway looked fairly packed. They had great coupons but I'm surprised that so many people made it their first stop. Kohl's had a line and a lot of people waiting in their cars at 11. I don't know if anyone told them that Kohl's has a website. After driving by a BB I knew would be packed, I was surprised that the Old Navy one parking lot down had at least 50 people in line at 11:30. Some interesting choices out there. Curious if anyone gets a peak at the 5-6 AM traffic. Somehow I think the people at the office supply stores are going to be confused by the number of people lined up. Anyone who missed a computer deal will likely be in line now.

The guy behind me wanted the Asus also but they sold out. I loved wearing my GottaDeal t-shirt, although I don't know how funny he thought the "If you can read this, I probably got your doorbuster" was. LOL
The parking lot at our Wal Mart was packed. Heard several stories about horrible lines at Target. I remember a few years back I would show up at the 6:00 openings at 6:00, walk in and get everything I wanted. The wierdest crowd to me was at the mall. Our Belks is opening at 3:00 and at 11:30 there was already a long line waiting. I don't know what they could possibly have to wait 4 hours on?

Then went to Target for 12. All I can say is wow. I have NEVER seen that many people in line for Target before.
Talked to my Mom on the phone, she and my sister witnessed 2 girls fighting at Shopko, of all places. Police tackled the girl to the ground.
I have been doing BF for over 10 years now and this has been by far the busiest I have seen it. The aggressiveness of people is also very disturbing.

Went home and unloaded. Then went to target. The line was insane. Completely wrapped the whole building. I finally got in maybe 12:20 just to grab the scarves.
Then went to the mall. Younkers was also insane. I was in line for at least 30 minutes to check out. Got what I wanted there and at bath and body works and at build a bear. The next store I want Nebraska furniture mart opens at 6 so I'm killing time. Went to another target got some clothes now having coffee at McDonald's.
Everyone I encountered was nice. Employees were very helpful too.
