Black Friday

[foleyfanforever88 0]

I went to Circuit City and bought Season 1 of House, Click, Office Space, Season 1 of The Office, and Little Nicky for a total of about $45. As Borat would say, very niiiice.

I dont think I would be bragging about picking up Little Nicky, but whatever floats your boat. I'll be headed to work in a half hour. Black Friday in a video game store.............god help me.

I went to Walmart and Best Buy, and it was a madhouse. I bought Seasons 1-6 of Seinfeld at Target, Season 2 of LOST, and I got my jersey from the hood. I spent way too much.

[Guest Smues]

Of course I didn't find any Wiis. I was prepared for that so it wasn't upsetting, except for Gamestop "we sold out at 6". You're ad said you opened at 7 today, fuckers!

 

I did manage to pickup an extra wii-mote, 2 classic controllers, some points cards, and Zelda, so all I need now is an extra nunchuk controller and the actually Wii itself and I'm good to go. (I can't be the only one who thinks it's fucking retarded how Gamestop has all the "bring this card to cashier for actual product" cards for wii accessories hanging on the wall without having any of it instock.)

 

The crowds out today weren't as bad as I was expecting either. With the exception of Gamestop and the 5 minute speil to sell the used game club slowing down the line I don't think I waited more than a minute in any lines.

Or Click for that matter. Though I thought Little Nicky had one or two momentss that were worthy of a light chuckle, that's just me though.

Yeah, fucking best buy was a joke for crowd control and execution of ticketing waste of two hours. However I did get a Master Replicas Darth Vader Empire Force FX saber collectible for half price.

I shopped on eBay today. There is no way you'll find me at a mall today. My anxiety would kick in with there being WAYY too many people. Plus I can't stand waiting in lines.

I just drove by my local best buy and there's already a line across the complex and it's 10 PM PST

Best Buy here had a long line at 7pm PST.

 

I don't know how people can do that shit.

 

What sales did Best Buy have to warrant people waiting in line for 12 hours?

[Craig Th 0]

Some of them might have had a Wii or a PS3, but other than that no real good deals. Maybe some good stuff on HDTVs, but nothing crazy.

I wonder how many people who work in retail up and quit/and or walked off the job today? I don't envy these poor people at all.

BB had lines through the middle of the store, around the outer ring of the inside, by the customer service desk, the bathroom, the phones, the fuckin' video games and televisions. It was fucking insane.

It was more about getting all 5 of them for less than the normal price of a season of House..House and The Office were the two main things for me.

I really shouldn't criticize anybody's DVD collection really. I have Jaws: The Revenge on DVD for christ's sake and House Party 3!

[Guest NYankees]

House Party 3 has Immature errr I mean IMX in it. That should be in everybody's collection.

I worked at a Kay Bee in High School...during the NIN 64/ Tickle Me Elmo frenzy. I was supposed to block the Elmo's and say "only two per customer", but then I saw grown men hitting women for them, and vice versa, so I let nature take its course.

 

I did't need, or get jack shit this year.

[Guest Princess Leena]

I only went to a dead tennis shop to buy tennis equipment for hubby. Then, I kicked his ass.

 

I just don't get people who can do Black Friday shit for fun...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I didn't even make it inside the mall before I said "Fuck this."

I usually go with my mom because I can usually wrangle some cool pre-christmas items on her dime as well as at least a free lunch.

I got to experience black friday at work for the first time this year (I never shop on that day, and only once did, we went to walmart years ago bu tit wasn ttoo ba dthen)

 

For starters, I worked the closing shift on weds night, so all of us at CC ha dto stya late to make sure the store was ready for friday, I was supposed to get off at 10:30 as per usual, but we stayed untill 1: 30 am, most of it was wasting time since our manager sgave us little or no direction. (and I had to ask, why didnt we fill the dvd sale bins previously in the back then bring them out? it would have saved alot of time), plus we all forgot to clock out before midnight (since our work week ends on weds, and we were clocked in past midnight, thus our hours were not saved so we all had to write down our hours and hope we get paid, and it might take untill the next check not this weeks, so alot of people are upset)

 

anyhow I "lucked out" (if you can call it that) and had to work an 8 am- 11 pm shift (though we closed at 10) others were there at 3:30 or 4 am (and some had to stay all the way to 11:30 pm!). I got there ealry but grabbed a bite in the mall, when I got into the store, it was arm to arm traffic of people in the whole store, I had a hard time finding a computer to clock in with. peopl were waiting on line for like 5 hours at a time (and of course complaining about it to me, since I was given the fun task of patrolling the floors instead of cashiering, thank god) I told most of them hey thats what you get for shopping on BF. we only have 3 registers that work in the movie/music/game section so it took awhile and lot of sales had rebates that needed to print. anyone who got too annoying to me I just directed them to my boss, the store director, or dept manager.

 

I dont get the whole point of all thes epeople there, I mean the sales were even that great to be worth that waiting. (just 2 for 8 movies and 2.99 movies and 20 bucks off gameboys and osme pc stuff and tvs on sale) people were sitting on the floor for gods sake, and I had a hard time getting thru to the aisles and stuff so I had to yell "look out employee coming thu!!!!" I manged to keep my composure though. I was supposed to have a lunch break at 1, but I had to wait cuz the people who came in earlier hadnt all eaten yet (as if they were holding it against me that I cam ein at 8 instea dof 4) finally I said fuck this and took a break when I saw one of my compatriots come back form break. I got the hell out of there (despite our bosses getting some food for us in the lounge , I needed to get the hell out of that store) I went to burge rking and they ha dlines out the door almost. I then read some books at walden, before returning to hell. I managed to take a second, dinner break at 7: 30 (hell Im there that many hours by law Im supposed to get multiple breaks) MY dad called to tell me that my uncle had passed away at like 9 pm, he wanted to come and get me then, but I wa stold by my supervisor that I had to stay untill the store closed at 10 at least (damn heartless management!). I finally got out of there at like 10:45 and some others stayed at 1:30 or 12

 

 

 

 

what an experience, then I had to come back and work saturday 9-9 and were were busy all day, to the point of selling all of the gameboys in stock and most of the xboxes . I was ringing up most of the day though and then had to deal with complaining costumers about there being only 1 line for 2 registers (as if two seperate lines would really make it faster, and besides Im only going on orders frommanagement). then I had to call the bank for one customer who wanted to use a cc credit card despite never having activated it an dnot telling me that untill I tried to scan it for payment. customers

 

I was supposed to work sunday but they gave me the day off to go to the wake of my uncle and I had the funeral earlier today. Tonight I got to work 4-10:30 (liklely 11 cuz we have to put out the new release stuff for tom, and we close at 10) but I have off tues and weds so I can finally chill

 

man my feet still hurt

[Guest NYankees]

Sorry about your uncle. Your cc does suck though. I went there a month ago and had to wait in a 20 minute line when the store wasn't even packed. At least Best Buy has more than two registers and always opens up more during Holiday time.

yea I can see how that happens there. Im usually not on registers much (thats cuz those lazy bastards never trained me but I finally am getting to do it now) and most of the time thos elines take that long cuz people ask dumbass questions and want us to look for stuff when were trying to get people rung up.

 

ps if you ever see me there let me know who you are, youll know me cuz i look like my avatar pic lol

[Guest NYankees]

Just as long as you aren't one of the lazy fucks who stand around the Computer section the whole time. I was there for 10 minutes and all they did was stand around talking to eachother for like 15 minutes on a saturday afternoon.

[Guest Princess Leena]

The worst is the Best Buy I go to... all the workers do there is yap to each other, or purposely go on forever to customers who have no idea what they're looking for.

Hey, admins, ban/suspend that.

lol yea the comp and tv section people seem to never be around here so I got many questions form customers needing help there but there is little that I can do, cuz I dont know much about those depts. plus I have been told by my superiors to stay in my dept. usually if Im not on cashier, I just walk around the dept fixing dvds and cds and helping customers who ask me stuff.

 

side note I have had it up to here with people asking me if we have a ps3, lately I have had to fight myself to not laugh in their face. belive it or not due to the poor management and lack of direction I have no idea when we are getting anything, outside of reg. release dates

 

anyhow I usually work the 5-close shifts thurs-sun/or monday (and sundays I work a little more sometimes 12-closing)
