Cwilliams Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 We went about 11.00 p.m. We were number 36 in line. Employees started showing up about 2.00 am. Managers came out about three with a megaphone and said any line jumping or people joining using others to hold there spots other than to use the potty or warm up a minute in there vehicles. Would be asked to step to the back of the line. He said no tollerence. He also said we we start handing out tickets if the line even flinches he would stop the employees from handing them out until everyone was back inline single file. around 3.30 am he had his employees come out with box's and box's of warm fresh donuts. Around 4.15 they started the tickets. They had over 50 of the 149.99 emachines. We got 2. 1 for my mom and one for our son. Then they would only let 1 person through the door at a time. They would only open the door far enough to get 1 person through. They would shut the first door behind the person and open the next and then repeat. it was great. I saw the manager ask about 40 different people to leave for various things. It went very smooth.
donny2001 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 I didnt go this year to BB but the one here in Greenfield WI is VERY COOL! Every year I go the staff is very helpful, and the past year they had sugar cookies and donuts! I drove by this morning for the heck of it and around 3:45 the line snaked all the way to the back fence where all the apartments are. Im guessing by 4:15 they were already past the TGI Fridays resturaunt. Anyways if anyone can tell me how it was this year being inline (Besides Cold), it would be cool. Everytime I went they rope off the handicapp acessabile entry ramp in front of the main door (Until the line disappears), and have like 3 people standing within like 20 Feet at the entrance, to chase away line jumpers, and late arrivals. TO really make sure there is no aggression, some stands at the IN door that is open for single person entry. Seems like the WI Best Buys Really strive in the safety of their customers. DON
