So I got talked into (out of pity, of course) spending the night with G-Dawg lined up at Best Buy for the Day-after-Thanksgiving sale. Greg got us in line at something like 30th place, still enough to get some kind of a good deal on the door-buster loss-leaders they were advertising. So I show up with a “party in a box” along with some cans of chili and a stove (MSR’s Pocket Rocket which is awesome!) to make our stay a bit more enjoyable.
Well, last minute after we spent all night from 11pm to 5am in line, a bunch of jerkoffs blast past everyone and crowd the doors. Soon, it was probably close to about 150 people who just disregarded the whole line. Someone called the cops (kinda dumb, but at the same time I understand) and Best Buy did nothing. This could have totally been avoided if they would have just put up a rope fence the night before and have some goons out in the morning. Lots of people got scrapes and bruises when the door finally opened and the mob shoved everyone inside.
Waste of time, other than the experience. Personally, I’d go for an experience like the Mongolia Rally instead over this any day, or night, as the case may be.
