After Thanksgiving Shopping! You konw that DVD player Wal-Mart was advertising on TV for $48? Well my friends parents wanted one, but would be out of town. So me and Nathan decided we would earn some browny points and go buy it. We knew the place would be a mad house with all the penny pinchers running and screaming for the best deals. We got there at 5:30 AM yeaterday the parking lot wasn't too full. We went inside and ran back to electronics. There was a line about 500 feet long! Holy crap! I knew we didn't want to stand in line for that! I mean it's only saving us $10 and we can just get it next week. I was like "let's just go get some donuts. The store didn't officially open til 6 but they let customers in early. So at 6 they did an all call and said they were offically open for buxiness. What those dumb people in line didn't realize was that the DVD players we're not in electronics! They were in a completely different part of the store! They also had TV's on sale, 27" for $150. If I would have had the cash on me, I would have got one. The DVD player wasn't the big attraction I found out, I mean EVERYONE had at least one of those TV's in their carts, I saw one guy stacked 4 on one cart! We grabbed our player, paid for it and ran the hell out of there!

We decided that we needed some gas, and the Wal-Mart gas station had a good deal at $1.25/g. But we found out that the pumps were pumping slow. What we didn't realize was how damn slow they really were! It took 25 minutes to get $4 of gas! It told Nathan to just pay for that and we'll go somewhere else!

After all that, I'm glad I do 90% of my shopping online! Posted by chris at 10:09 AM Misc • (12) Trackbacks
