Probably in California and maybe another blue state or two.
Most of those people will like the extra hours

I won't attend. now matter what they want to give away to get people
in the door.

Neither will I. The whole idea is dumb but they still have people
lined up around the block for these things.

I agreee, it's just plain silly. I've seen on the news where there are
people camped out at stores already!

It occurred to me the other day that folks who can afford to sit out
camping for two days to save 500 bucks on a wide screen tv, probably
don't need the 500 bucks anyway

My ex and her family (probably 20 of them) will all meet tonight at one
house with their sale papers and want lists and spread out over the
state to different stores with their collective lists of this and that
and hold their place in line. "You go to Walmart and be first in line,
grab three of those TV's." "You and you go to this place and get the
Camera for Mom and uncle harry". Trust me, they will push your mama out
of line for that TV save let the rest of the family down... and like I
noted above, not one of them "needs" to save a few bucks on any of it...

One of our local papers ran a story several days ago about people who
were already camped out in the Best Buy parking lot. Another person,
who they interviewed for the story, made the observation that there
wasn't anything in the whole store that was worth camping out in the
parking lot for 5 days.

For some people it just becomes a challenge.

I'll be drinking coffee and reading the paper.

Funny, we have some Indian contract developers here that are excited about going. They are planning to buy laptops and tablets and are going to ship them back home. They say that electronics are much cheaper here than in India, and it's worth it to them.

I remember being in Tokyo about twenty years ago, and thinking I'd buy a new 35mm camera. Got the sticker shock of my life! Far less expensive to buy one in the states than over there, at least in the camera shops I checked.

Not to worry for you, what without a job or anything.

I sold a couple of old 35MM cameras, lenses etc for a ridiculous price
to a guy in China (on Ebay) and I had 3 people there bidding.

I still think these things are available on the internet cheaper than
in a store, unless it is some kind of door buster where only the first
couple in line actually get one.
My wife just scored 2 WII/U consoles for less than list.


Our main parts supplier for the bike racing will match any valid
internet price on most parts and such... And overnight them to me too.

However, I may just go and spend a couple dollars at Walmart on Friday,
dogfood or anything to stick my middle finger up at the Union thugs who
want to "Hostess" Walmart...

Yeah, **** those workers who are helping Walmart sell billions of
dollars worth of Communist Chinese goods to your fellow citizen, so
the Waltons can be worth a collective $89 billion. That's equal to
the holdings of the bottom 41% of all American citizens.

You tell 'em, Freaky.
