OMG, I can't believe how many people at Best Buy today. I got there at 6am and there was a freaking huge line. It got even worse when I got inside. I couldn't move let alone finding the stuffs that I was loooking for. Freaking people just took everything they could get their hands on. What were they thinking? It's not like they were free or something. I ended up without buying anything cuz everything was pretty much gone. One worthless hour of my life ever. Oh, not to mention running into some idiot in the parking lot who was pissed off at me for no reason. He kept on pointing at the cop who pulled some guy over and warned me that there was a cop in the parking lot I waved to him just a friendly gesture and the dude acted like he was calling the cop over , again I don't get what the was going through his head. I knew I should had stayed in bed. Oh well, for sure I'm not gonna go through this again. Gosh, I hate stupid people. Going back to bed now.

 

Do you guys have boxing day in the states? It can get pretty insane here on that day too. You spend more time in lines than actually shopping. There are massive lines everywhere with people wanting to save $2 on an item. I'd rather just pay the extra $$ and save my sanity.

 

lol, boxing day is funny.. cuz people go crazy over stuff they would never buy in their entire lives.. but since it's on sale, they have to go out and get a good deal.. And the sales aren't even all that great..

 

And then they never end up using it. Things are usually cheaper a few days after boxing day is over -- true you might not get exactly what you're looking for, but you can get lucky and score some really choice deals, minus the crazy parking escapades and long ass lineups.

 

Shop on-line!!!!

 

I'm not walking into ANY retail establishment until January. None.

 

Exactly what I'm doing.

 

You could have logged on to Best Buy yesterday and bought everything but the 'six-hour specials' right on line.

Remember, shop ON-LINE, not IN-LINE

 

That's exactly what I did.

I needed a wireless access point. I wanted the Linksys 54mbps 802.11G access point. I was going to get it from Newegg.com for $62.99, but I thought I'd see how much Best Buy and CompUSA's prices were. They were both $79.99.

So I came home and got it from newegg.com. $62.99 + $4.99 S/H, no tax. $67.98 - total. With only a few exceptions, there is just no need to go to retail stores anymore.

When I was at CompUSA, I asked a kid for help (to ask him something about the pricing) and he was busy, so he pointed to some other sales people and said something like "there are a bunch of others who's just standing around..." What a moron.

 

Welcome to the retail world where you'll get the best help minimum wage can buy.
