The Black Friday Rush

What a Black Friday we had, off to Target at 4:30am, what a mob scene, parking lot was full by 5am. We lucked out and got a carriage from someone unloading their haul in to their car on the way in, most folks weren't so lucky and were seen dragging and juggling boxes through the store.

Once in the store the register line was almost at one point completely around the outer perimeter of the store, down the right side, all the way across the back of the store, up the left side and across the front to the registers.  There had to be 300+ people in line waiting their turn at the register.  WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE STORE...   Anyway we found almost every item we went for and decided to take our place in line.  We decided to leave Rose with the carriage and send me out on patrols to see If we could score the last few items on our list.  That worked out well and as we waited in line we found the Play-Doh we'd been looking for.  I have never seen so many LCD TV's being sold in my life I'd say 1 in 4 carriages had one in it.  The line went fast and efficiently maybe 30 minutes total in line not too bad. 

Off to Walmart, many of the doorbuster items were all gone, parking lot had few cars in it no trouble parking and only one person in front of us in line. 

Oddly enough both stores had State Police in the parking lots and in the stores keeping a watchful eye. (over by the electronics)
