Crazy lines are not just for Black Friday.
Most people are familiar with Black Friday crowds and sales, and the crazy lines that form to take advantage of early bird shopping. I always end up wondering if it’s truly worth it to go through all of that. And until yesterday, I always thought it only happened on Black Friday. A relative of someone I know had found out that the local Toys R Us was getting a small shipment of a very popular, hard to get to toy in and would be putting them out on the shelves this morning. My sister in law drove past last night and people were starting to line up at 9pm, and the store didn’t open until 8am this morning. I guess that six degrees of separation can happen everywhere. Apparently everyone had heard froma friend, or a friend of a friend, or a friend of a friend’s friend, or a friend of a friend’s third second cousin had heard the same piece of information. My sister in law said that by the middle of the night the line was most of the way around the building and people were still showing up. She said they were out there in beach chairs, soccer chairs, sleeping on the ground and in tents. How crazy is that! You’d think someone was standing there giving out gold chains or something.
