Did they give em to you? I can't even imagine them giving it to anyone these days.

Yea thats part of the reason why the busiest day for us is the day after christmas, returns, gift cards, tourists

No way, bro.

If it was a personal time off request, it was no go.

If it was an emergency, you basically had to prove it.

It's not surprising, this 6 weeks of time makes soooooooooooo much money for retailers it isn't funny.

Take all the time off you want before Thanksgiving and after January 15th was the commonly known rule.

This was well over 10 years ago though so, your mileage may vary today...
 
I would have done the same thing (and have in the past). After standing in a line (in the cold especially) you aren't getting out of there empty handed.

It's for my kid. I know he'll love LBP Karting despite it's loading issues (unless they fixed that?). He LOVES The Batman and the Lego series so win there. The line was inside and most of that line were groups of family's so it would have went quick if 14 year old's weren't running the place. Pathetic.

Now I have to find a nice pink netbook for my other kiddo. Any suggestions? Preferably under 300.
 
I think this was a typo, but it still works

Girls I know have a problem finding the proper support for their beasts. They need to sit there and try on a hundred of them to find the proper beast management system.

I think Asus makes a pink one, but I don't know what kind of premium you'd have to pay due to it being pink.
 
Dang, just had to hit up best buy, two wal marts and one final target to find fifa 13.

Crazy. Of course people at target wouldn't price match so i had to get it for $35 and not $25.

Oh well. Also picked up a mouse and x-com for 25 at wal-mart.

You can just buy new colors of the same ones you already have unless you really want to brave those fitting room lines.

Yeah, from what my wife tells me another woman has to do the measuring for the appropiate size. It's a complicated matter.

Only if you don't know your dimensions. It's a pretty fast and fluid system though.

You choose the style of bra you want, give the card to an attendant, she gives you a box full of generic black bras. Try 'em on, pick out which you want, which you reject. Give the box back to the fitting room attendant. Then you're given another attendant who takes you to each of the dressers so you can choose colors/designs. Buy 'em. Done. It's actually very quick and painless.

Yea I saw one from B&H where I buy my camera stuff.

It should do what I need it to do for her. Help her with school and writing papers. Internet to get to the school website to download homework. That's all she needs as long as she stays off Facebook lol.

Here are the pics I promised from the morans at Best Buy. By the time these people get in there all that's left is Blurays and DVD's for 10 bucks.

This is the part of the line that is behind the building stretching all the way to the target loading docks 200 yards away. Pretty dark back there.

I really need to get to bed. I'm supposed to work in 7 hours.

If anyone finds a good deal on a pink laptop (yes I know it's a strange request) please PM me.
 
Looks like I've missed out on WWE13. None of the Walmarts within 40 miles have them left in stock to order. And I'm not paying more than $25 for it. Hopefully it will be on sale for Cyber Monday.
 
Got WWE13, NBA 2K13, NFS Most Wanted, LittleBigPlanet 2, and Dance Central 3. Only problem was I wanted WWE13 and NBA for 360 but whatever not worth exchanging later. Also need to get Black Ops 2. Can't complain with this haul for around $100.

Everybody tries on the same ones? Gross. All sorts of boobie germs.

Saw people parking on top of the trees/curb blocks this year. That was new. Sort of hope there's some lasting damage to their vehicles.
 
Got a 32" Samsung HDTV, a keyboard, a mouse, and a blender for ~$270. I need a laptop so I'll probably just go on Amazon.

First time I went shopping on Black Friday and it was fucking insane. Walmart had a massive spiraling line, one of the displays was ripped open, just a complete disaster. Best Buy had a line that curved outside the store on the side, all the way to the back and curved almost to the other side just to get in the damn store.

I'm guessing they probably hit it with some sort of disinfectant spray, ala bowling shoes.
 
Apple's Black Friday sale is up -- http://store.apple.com/us

As you might expect the savings are pretty pathetic, the biggest disappointment being that they refuse to put the iPad Mini on sale at all (though pretty much everything else has been marked down about 10%).

Still though, you probably won't find a better price on any Apple gear anywhere else....unless you don't mind buying refurbished stuff from GameStop (who is selling all their used iProducts at a 25% discount).
 
I get the feeling that it gripes Apples ass to even give a shitty 10% discount. It's like they do it because they feel they have to do a little something.
 
Apple is a lot like Nintendo -- they insist on getting full MSRP for everything almost no matter what. Only when a successor product is introduced do they drop prices. Even then you still don't see a lot of deals on the Wii, despite Wii U's launch.
 
Never fucking mind. The pimple faced mush mouth teen I talked to on the phone made 299.00 sound exactly like one would think 199 would sound. Got up to the register that'll be 318.42, Rob.

After standing in this line for an hour:

I said the hell with it. Here's my money. Pisses me off man. Gonna hold onto the receipt and see what I can fish up on Cyber Monday. The magazine rack was so fucking close to me I really should have flipped that bitch.

I understand you're upset, but did you ask the salesperson when you talked to him if that was 299.00 before or after taxes. It's really all on you for not asking that question. You have no right to be upset considering there's taxes involved.

Ah its probably worse today to be honest, and i'm sure it does but everyone gets some good vacations from Feb until march or april its just a storm that needs to be weathered.

Its still so strange that in this day and age it isnt on the down though there are just so much more convenient ways to shop where you dont risk getting trampled.

The people that do this just for the experience are the ones that scare me lol some people dont even look at what place has a good deal they just go assuming there will be
 
You'll have to excuse Gaf on this one. More than likely most of us are more familiar with man tits than woman tits.

If there were such a thing as a man bra and I needed one, I would not be willing to try on a "generic black" man bra that some other man had placed his man breasts into. Probably not even if I was assured that someone had disinfected them with some bowling shoe spray.

If you've ever tried on a shirt: too late.

I don't wear a big enough size that I'd ever need to worry about someone having placed their breasts into the shirt prior to my having tried it on.

Still though, how many shirts are likely to be tried on? Men try clothes on at a vastly different rate than women. For every item tried on in a men's fitting room, ten are probably tried on in the women's. With those odds in mind, the chances of the shirt I'm trying on having been tried on ever before are fairly slim. With the bra scenario, we're talking a garment that is almost guaranteed to have touched other breasts.

Some of us don't like germs. Some of us have neurotic mothers that made us this way. Don't judge us!

:P

I say women should just go without bras........ well some of them.
 
What's better? MacBook Pro 13" base model for $1100 or 13" MacBook Air base model for $1100? They both have HD 4000 graphics. I just want to play Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and maybe The Sims 3 or something
 
Dudes try on shirts. There isn't much of a difference. It's not like when we go the bathroom we have to wash our tits. Seriously. The hell.

Do they? I can't speak for all of dudedom, but I haven't done this since I was a youngster back in the 80s. I didn't think they had rooms for guys. That'd probably be more gross with bacne and stuff.

There's typically fitting rooms for everyone if it's a unisex store. People try on shirts, pants, swimsuits.
