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.
I imagine if Wal-Mart had the same people in their line that you were with, this wouldn't have happened.
A lot of the stuff was on sale online for the same price despite Wal-Mart saying it was “store only.”
My brother-in-law went out to get a really cheap blu-ray player for 129. He could have just gotten on the computer at 4 a.m., ordered it, and went back to bed.
I was looking for the $2 movies, but they were store only, so I considered it not worth it.
