CompUsa was insane!!! we had the police regulating how many people were coming in cause we opened up at 12 at night which by the way not a smart move only calling in 4 people to run the entire store. needless to say i survived barely and my sales were pretty crappy cause people cant read adds correctly. I will make sure to quit retail asap as its too stressful and the people that come in know pretty much nothing of the internet or they could order most things online. Some people were waiting since 6 oclock outside of my store waiting to grab and dash as fast as they could. it was 20 degrees out that night so 6 hrs in the cold apparently doesnt stop the one time shoppers still.

There wasn't any adds that really caught my eye this year. I did go shopping that day, though, but it was at night. I'd rather pay full price than stand in those lines just like blackcelicagt94.
