I'm not here to blow smoke up anybody's ass but I do believe in giving credit where it is due. I went to one BF sale about 12 years ago. Nothing special, Office Depot had a geek stick on sale so I set the alarm, grabbed a cup of coffee, and drove the 4 minutes to the store. Of course when I got there they were sold out and I spent the next 4 minutes on the way home bitching about waking up for no reason.
That said, my wife and I went to Wally World this year. With everything they had on sale it went over pretty smoothly. They had all the major sale items scattered though out the store. TV's (tv voucher's) in the grocery department, towels/sheets in hardware, etc.. One could pick up a TV voucher and whatever else they were there for, pay at the register, get in the car, wait just a bit in a line that went to the oil and lube center where they loaded your TV and your done. There was no freezing your ass off waiting for the doors to open. Not one little old lady got trampled to death. Thanks to an abundant staff and local law enforcement no one was fighting over merchandise.
I have to say, Good Job Wal Mart. You may see me next year.
