Well, it is 9pm and I stopped at BB on my way home from work to talk to my friend who worked there. I asked him about BF and what way the line goes, and I go with him to talk to a manager who has been through 5 BF's. He said 3 people were already camped out, but got sent home. YEEESSHH!! BB is going to be a MESS!

Imagine how it's going to be in South Carolina where this is a tax-free weekend for us. I know some of you are lucky to not have sales tax but it's going to be mass hysteria.
Lol, its not BF line....but those 3 guys wanted to rob BB just 2nights before BF so that it becomes hard for BB & cops to catch them in this BF crowd, shopping spree & sales.
Yes I went to BB for BF once. First there was almost a riot when people rushed the door (ignoring the line down the block.) Then there was the squishing through the doors. Then there was the 90 minutes in line waiting to checkout. Never again!

LOL. Yes what we humans do can really be quite absurd in hindsight.
so let me understand. they will be there this night, then the whole thanksgiving day and next night, just to catch a $300 discount on a tv or a laptop? crikey... I wont give away the butterball + gravy + cranberries sauce for anything...
I'm going Friday morning just for the fun of it. And if we score, cool, if not same thing... cool
Seriously? What could they have possibly been waiting to purchase? I haven't seen anything that would keep me from a day of sleeping in and a turkey meal.
I guess they're uninform comsumers. Because as it is right now they can just type and order online on Friday morning. Why would they give up all that instead of fighting it out at the comfort oftheir home? Also as coalminer said there is nothing worth it to even go there let alone stand in line all Thanksgiving.

I get off work Thanksgiving Day at 2:30 and plan to drive out to BB after that. Hopefully I won't be too late. There are a few BBs here in my city, so I have some options if the first is busy already. It's going to be about 30F here tomorrow night. I'll be getting off my 16 hour shift (which will pay for both laptops and the desktop!), so I'm going to show up and actually sleep in the front of the BB. I'm bringing:
- sleeping pad and blanket - water - food - gun (my city is in the top 10 most dangerous, not going to get robbed)

I'm going light like a true hobo.
To each his own, but:
A) If I need a gun to spend the night outdoors, I should not be outdoors.
B) Don't you have family or friends to spend some time with?
C) I would encourage anyone here to volunteer at a local shelter and help serve meals during the holidays. If not for Thanksgiving, consider Christmas or other days during the next month. I am celebrating 20 years of serving meals this Thanksgiving, and I am bringing along a few friends to help out.

Anyone who lines up on Thanksgiving day to get a BF deal falls under my definition of a Hobo.
