sigrist_2000 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 i just stand there listening to what people are going to try and get. and if its something i am looking for i will try to follow them or go a different way. Sometimes i have conversations with people..or i should say people have conversations with me...and sometimes if we happen to meet again in the store we help each other out...i remember the tickle me elmo thing..they were on the top shelf, so i help get them down and gave them out...

VonnegutFan Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I usually bring a friend or two. We converse with others in-line, not unlike we do here. I usually go to BB, Target, etc so we discuss electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFQueenofNY Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 we discuss where Walmart will be putting their hot ticket items - ie: last year the $4.24 appliances were down the card and seasonal aisle rather than an endcap where you would look first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid_GR Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Well, last year I started off thinking to myself "I can take that guy in front of me and move up a spot, then the next guy looks kinda easy also, but that old lady with the walker looks like she is packing mace or something and kinda cranky". Well, maybe I didnt think that, but I could have Actually I sat there 30 - 40 minutes going "Please dont have to pee, please dont have to pee" over and over. O, and talked to the few people around who werent in a runners starting position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 In the past I had a gameboy (color, then advance) I think I would just sit there in the cold and converse with people. I wouldn't bring my lappy for fear of it becoming a hassle and holding on to it while waiting to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alimfp Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I talk to people if they look friendly. If not, I try to find a place to sit (this is why I wear jeans on this day.. they can withstand my sitting on the ground if needed). I usually just listen to others' conversations. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shopping mom Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I usually talk to people. I love how excited people are over the gifts they are able to get and the money saved. It never hurts to make friends with the people in front of you either. Last year I wanted a Carebear from Wal-Mart. My new aquaintance grabbed me one when she got hers because it got a little crazy!1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
