peachysquirt21 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Normally I only have to wait for around half hour or less for Target to open so I just talk to hubby. If it's too cold I go back to the van & warm up with mom. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christi Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Usually talk and last year we tried not to freeze. :-) We had taken a DVD player and put on Christmas music but the lady behind us asked us to turn it off, it was annoying. *humph* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrayZMama80 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I talk a lot to ppl in line around me. Last year was the coldest, traded places a couple times with daughter that was keeping warm in my van. This year I am thinking of taking an mp3 player to listen to music. If I can not talk long enough to listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlemama Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Play games on my cell phone, or read a magazine or book. This year I will probably be at Wal-Mart really early, so I will probably sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjacket97 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 A) Talk to the other people in line. Take pictures with my cell phone of the line (last year's line at Target was crazy long!). C) Call Mom on the cell (she's at another store) and compare lines (she was at Sears last year, and people were pushing trying to get a free gift card). D) Look over the ads again and finalize my game plan (hit electronics first, then accessories, etc...) E) Enjoy complimentary hot cocoa. F) Curse (silently) at the people cutting the line (while glancing at the Sheriff's Deputy, who escorts the cutters to the end of the line).

stationchief Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I might sit and stare at the ads, but mostly we bring our laptop to watch DVDs and play videogames. We'll be in front of the line, so there's no problem with pluggin' it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Gonzo Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Freeze to death while we watch the employees inside the store laugh as they stare at us through the windows. Last year some of us pitched pennies against the outside of the ShopKo while we waited in line - scored a whole 18 cents before the store opened! Sweet!!!

backpacktwc Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It depends upon the store. Some stores you can see inside, especially if they are small, and plan your attack. Others, you can only sit and stare at ads. My most favorite thing is to watch all the late-comers thinking they're going to get a good buy. It's like watching chickens in the hen house with a fox chasing them. That's quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't stop someone from playing Hannukah music or something near me in line. It is a festive time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
