OK, I will have the people meeting me bring coffee, hang out with me for awhile, and then be securely in their cars when the doors open. Last year I did notice that in the last 30 minutes I went from being 150th to 250th. I'm not trying to increase the problem. I just want company and no one's willing to sit in the cold with me all night.

Ok Question. The major item I want is at BB. now, this is only my second Black Friday and last year I had planned to be there for door crashers, but I was sick and slept a bit longer. But this year, I'm going to have to be there early to get what I want. So how early should I be? Please don't tell me to bring a sleeping bag and shack up in my car!

I would hope the stores would have someone out there to help control the line jumpers. But the way it is most of the time, all of the employees are busy still getting ready for BF. Knowing me, I would for sure have something to say, but I wouldn't let someone like that, jumping lines mess up my BF cheer. And noone else would either. Good luck everyone!

I arrived at BB last year at 6 PM and scored all the door busters I came for.

Good Luck to you

Hmm That's no good. I won't be home until 10pm on Thursday night, so maybe I'll just go straight to the store and sleep in line!

good luck to me. I have to hope that noone else wants what I want, but I find that highly doubtful!

This will be my first year going to a BF sale, however I'll be going with my brother and his friend who went last year to the BB sale. My brother, who practically lives at the gym, is pretty intimidating size-wise and is obnoxious by nature. His friend is just a pure, unadulterated, @$$hole who I normally can't stand to be around; he's also got a chip on his shoulder the size of the Grand Canyon and was an amateur boxer for a while (Golden Gloves winner). In short, they're the type of people who won't take flack from anyone. Part of the reason they enjoyed last year's sale so much was heckling/threatening anyone who tried to cut in front before the vouchers were handed out. Most line-cutters try to sneak in and not arouse suspicion, acting casual with those around them; my brother and his friend would start yelling and taunting them, pointing them out to everyone else. And once they did, and had figuratively "broken the ice", everyone else around them would start chiming in and following their lead. I'm planning on bringing a camera and shooting a bunch of vids. It should be interesting.

I was at the BB line two years ago, somewhere in the top 15 were me and a group of friends. All going for different things, personally I had a coupon for one of the ultra-cheap laptops. As the doors opened, this majorly white-trash dude comes in from the side and sneaks in; after the vouchers have been handed out. I see him at the line for laptops, I'm right behind him. He's ADAMANT he gets a laptop, can't understand why he's not getting one. I then slyly move him to the side, hand the attendant my voucher, and I'm handed a Laptop. I looked at him, winked and said "nice try". The dude was P*SSED. He then proceeded to berate the BB attendant until he was escorted out. It was a sweet victory.

Last year walmart employees came out and formed a line/human fence (they actually linked arms) around the people waiting to get in right before the doors open. Things went smoothly getting in. The year before this did not happen and many things were gone because of people crashing the lines. They did give substitutes for some items but not others. There must have been a lot of complaints from that year because last year was great. One girl trying to jump the line was funny, she kept saying "I'm just here to watch." Walmart employees would not let her through. She kept going around to different spots and kept saying the same thing. They wouldn't let her in. I saw her as I was getting ready to checkout with a cart shopping.
