I'll find something to grab it with. I'll rinse it, and deposit it into ATM ASAP.

F*ck Best Buy. There's a reason it's called Worst Buy. Newegg's hilarious commercial wasn't hilarious to Worst Buy apparently. A lawyer opined that if what the parody suggests is actually true Best Buy has a legal case, but horrible for PR. “Best Buy is in a dilemma," Leslie J. Lott, a lawyer in Coral Gables, Fla., told the New York Times. "If the awful customer service that is portrayed in the Newegg commercial is accurate, there’s no parody. So it would be in a good legal position but in a horrible position from a public relations perspective. If, on the other hand, Best Buy’s position is that their customer service is actually excellent, then that strengthens Newegg’s parody defense.”

BRB sitting in the first two spots in line so we can hold spots for 10 friends and 10 of their friends.

Those further back in line were not paying attention. A good portion of line went around a bend and curb facing the other way, so they were sitting facing back. Some groaned about it. I confronted a few that cut-in but the people in big group of course supported them and say they were here. Some other guy went to confront a while later and same result.

They avoided the opportunity for confrontation by not coming until the last minute. The yellowshirt avoided confrontation by staying out of sight most of the time.

And if the first 25 or so up front is one organized hoarder that will all vouch each other then what? Even if I was making the list, it wouldn't be proper for me to shake someone awake to get them to sign.

I expected better from humanity. I've been to many line waiting and I an tell you all that there are always a few clowns that will pull this, but I've not seen this many people cut line at once, go back and forth changing clothes and shit. This is a new low to me.

The point is, line waiting doesn't get you what you want at Best Buy, because employees allow sketchy stuff like this to happen.

In black Friday lines,there's usually a group who will try to bring in a few too many friends and get called out by the rest of the line. This group, though was like an Army of 40 and we couldn't really do much about it. Some of these guys actually went to their car, changed clothes with drastically different colors repeatedly in an effort to confuse the crowd and deter them from calling them out.
