Black Friday Crowds at Best Buy

by Xavier on November 23, 2007

So this is what Best Buy looked like at 5am today. If you stayed home you missed several hundred people pushing and shoving in search of all those Black Friday deals.

If you’re not willing to deal with crowds like this, Black Friday just isn’t for you. Check out the second video below- taken by a couple of useless Best Buy employees who call says the customers stupid…nice attitude guys.

This is what it looks like from outside:

Brahminy Kite

This is stupid! The management of this store ought to have planned it better! Look at those line-jumpers come rushing in from all-corners! Shame on them!

Me & my friend went to Best Buy at Mason, OH (9871 Waterstone Blvd, Cincinnati), and we had few "Smart-Alecs" trying to form another line just before tickets were handed over! A lengthy session of arguments (+pushing/showing) ensued, but was sorted out peacefully with the intervention of a cop & store staff. The handed over a numbered ticket to each in the line, in order & tickets were later given to only those had a number, and only in order! Even when taking people in, we had to show our numbers, which made sure that there was no rush & most importantly, no line-jumpers could gain such-an-unfair advantage. Kudos to the staff & the management at this bestbuy store {even though their service sucked, there were lot of confusion & we had to wait in the queue for 2 hrs to checkout couple of laptops}.

OH, we even got an assortment of bagels & coffee while we waited for the store to be opened, distributed by the store staff. Marvellous!
