Circuit City was giving numbers to the crowd. You got there, you got a number, you went back to your car. No crush, no fights, no broken merchandise, no stealing from other’s carts.

I went to Office Depot. NO merchandise was on the floor. You got into a line, they called you to your register, you asked for your item, a worker got it from the back room, you paid and you walked out.

When I did do Walmart a few years ago, I was at the back of the line and when the doors opened, people rushed in from cars. They handle things badly.

That's the smartest thing I've heard so far. Why doesn't WalMart, Target, etc. do the same thing?

I went to Wal-Mart this morning with the attitude of if they have it good , if not ‘oh well.’ I was there less than 5 min, walking away in disgust. I then went to Target. It was 20 min before they were opening. Maybe 100 people in line. I sttod in line and had a great conversation with my fellow shoppers. The employees were walking up and down the line making sure people knew where sale items were located. When the doors were open, people were polite. No pushing or shoving. I got the 3 items I wanted and was out of there in less than 30 min. Wal-Mart could learn a lot from how Target ran thier Black Friday sales.

Most of the Walmarts are open all night anyways and don't keep people out. However, they have to have three times the normal amount of people working to prevent the asswipe customers from stealing all the blitz merchandise and hoarding everything. You can't keep asswipes from acting like asswipes, it's in their DNA.
