nickle831 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Okay if you are heading to BF by yourself do you still take a chair? What do you do with it when it comes time to open the doors?
sigrist_2000 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 take a chair that you can do without if it came to be that u had to leave it behind...maybe hope its still there when u come out...take a beat up end of the life chair... think of it as a way to get rid of it...lol or dont take one at all
Mugglemom Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 take a chair that you can do without if it came to be that u had to leave it behind...maybe hope its still there when u come out...take a beat up end of the life chair... think of it as a way to get rid of it...lol or dont take one at allMy thoughts exactly. Although it's usually so cold that you don't want to sit in one place!
Mommie2one Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Im going by myself but no chair. I can handle standing for a few hours w/o sitting down
nickle831 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 think of it as a way to get rid of it...lol or dont take one at allLOL can I use this excuse to get ride of a bunch of other items that are worn out around the house!
sigrist_2000 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 LOL can I use this excuse to get ride of a bunch of other items that are worn out around the house!im sure other people will be doing the same...papers all over, trash..omg fast food trash...food wrappings, bags, notes, ads...check when u are going into the store how much trash is over the sidewalk/parking lot..and when u go out..wow...landfill!!!
erh12275 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 take a chair that you can do without if it came to be that u had to leave it behind...maybe hope its still there when u come out...take a beat up end of the life chair... think of it as a way to get rid of it...lol or dont take one at allExactly what I was thinking. If it's there it's there if not...well hope they enjoy it.
SuperMommy Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Wal-Mart has some for about $6 or $7. So you could go get one of those and if it gets left behind it wouldn't be that big of a loss.
dbuttry Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Last year I just took a 5 gallon bucket and some cardboard for padding. Worked great! I left it outside when I went in and it was still there when I returned for it. There were a lot of people wanting to buy my bucket from me in line.
ebony0421 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 If you and the person behind you have conversations, there shouldn't be a problem with you putting the chair in the car, just don't do it right before the store opens.
sigrist_2000 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 thats one way or if you have two people bring one chair..sit one each other laps..switch every so often of course..and send one to the car to put it away...but then again...thats one more item in your car that you wont have for your BF deals
eve Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 take a chair that you can do without if it came to be that u had to leave it behind...maybe hope its still there when u come out...take a beat up end of the life chair... think of it as a way to get rid of it...lol or dont take one at all :lmao: :lmao:
shellypsu1 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I was asking myself the same question earlier... "to chair, or not to chair". I finally decided not to bring a chair. I am going to bring a small blanket to sit on and if it is cold out, I can wrap it around myself. Now I just have one more question; will I be able to throw the blanket in a shopping cart when picking up my new computer? lol
erh12275 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I see no need in taking a chairWell if I were going to be standing in line for an hour or 2 and then going in and shopping and then going home I would have to agree w/ you. But if like most you are going to be standing in line for 5-10 hours and then be shopping that day for 4 or more hours I could completely understand the need for a chair. Luckily I am neither and I am going to SuperWalmart that is open 24 hours so I don't have to stand in line.
nikov3 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 im selling chairs when i get to best buy that fold up and put into a bag that u can carry in the store
kdblev Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 My mom and I do this as a tradition now and have brought chairs the last 6 years or so since we get in line early. We pack up and put them in the car 30 mins or so before store, but we have held spots for ppl to put theirs up before too. And for people to take bathroom breaks and all that. Really not a big deal once the first 10 or so are there and have claimed their spot. Now if they leave and dont show back up in 5 minutes or so the spot is gone.
saturnboy01 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Here is what you do with your chair (and to get some people out of the way)...
sigrist_2000 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Here is what you do with your chair (and to get some people out of the way)... but then you would get charges pressed against you... but thats is too funny!!!
saturnboy01 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 but then you would get charges pressed against you... but thats is too funny!!! True...... And yes that was
albrandwood Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I'm thinking about borrowing a wheelchair from a relative ... Would love to see BB refuse to let me in with it :-) @ (either that, or crutches and leg cast ... etc ...)

Would love to see BB refuse to let me in with it :-) @ (either that, or crutches and leg cast ... etc ...)Last year we had a handicapped lady come to the line where we were. Came late and people let her ahead beacuse of her handicap. I'm usually a very sympathetic person, but if I've been sitting outside in a chair for four hours, I fail to see why she could not have. The store manager even let her in first and several minutes before anyone else. Touchy subject I guess. I'm sure she did need the help inside the store, but rather unfair that she skipped the line altogether.
DaleRider Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 If you and the person behind you have conversations, there shouldn't be a problem with you putting the chair in the car, just don't do it right before the store opens. Exactly!!! After spending several hours in line, you get to "know" the other BF'ers in line with you, esp. if you are VERY early to line. While we got there at midnight, the line didn't start getting long until around 3AM, by 4AM, you could forget the doorbusters completely!!! And probably most of the hot-priced stuff!! We had no problem with leaving the line for short periods and returning to our place during the morning's progression of time....everyone had to bathroom break sometime and the closest was a mile away. An hour before the doors opened and they started passing out tickets, we pretty much collectively took all our chairs, Thermoses, books, etc., back to our cars and retook our rightful places in line. Not a problem in the least.

Not a problem in the least.My experience was the same at Best Buy. I was close to the front of the line. I actually went into BestBuy about 30 minutes before they opened up to use their restroom. It gave me a great start on knowing where certain items were.

I dont see it as a touchy story (personally) both my parents are disabled and if they decide to go on a BF they must be out of there mind. I would not except them to get special treatment. they know what they are getting themselves into and they need to wait in line just like everyone else, period! I think its total bunk to let people cut in front like that and I would be irrate about it.
BLKFRI Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I have parked right in front of where I am in line at Best Buy and just put the chair and my TV in the car after they passed out the tickets. By then, peeps pretty much know who is where in line. You could also bring a camp chair. Fold it and put it in the shopping cart. I don't see retailers complaing about strollers, and thats how a lot of stealing is done.
Mara Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I see no need in taking a chairI have never taken a chair before but I'm pregnant this time and if I stand to long I get dizzy. I haven't figured out what I'll be doing Mara
KBsDarling Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 We take old phasing out blankets....If they let us take them in fine if they dont they can stay on the sidewalk...If they are there when I get back ok if not...Hope someone needed an old used mystery blanket that bad LOL
