I held fast and said I wasn't going to do it but broke down last night at 3.00am. It was cold at least 40 degrees
and raining to boot. The in store spys had the
sale stock at 24 premiums 9 cores. I was number 16.
About 5:30am We suggested to hand out tickets to the people there to hold our spots. The number 24.
The female mgr arrived at 7.00am Circuit city opened at 10.00 the manager was clueless. No voucher system. people that were rejected at other stores started arriving from all over. Now 200 people for 33 systems. The mgr tried to play us by talking about first come first serve no voucher system. I said yeah your right , First come first serve not first one to bum rush the door. If that is the case I could have arrived at 10 minutes to 10.
Basically the 24 stuck together briefly and was like if
we get ours first or no one does. The situation was getting bad because people were there from 3:00pm yesterday.
The mgr call the police. The police sided with us 24 with tickets go in first. Then everybody else for the last 9 or so we thought. They started letting people in 5 at a time i was number 16. but I started noticing some people in the first coming out with 2 premiums. Totally f-cked up. It threw the count off. The store then decides to let 16-24 in.
they direct us to the table that was displayed in front with the games and accessories. I say where is the systems they say at the cashiers line. I look over 20-24 already bum rushed the cashiers line. I try to go over this guy is trying to sell accessories and holdin us up. I'm like let me get the systems first. I go to the cashier line I hear the stock tell the one that these were the last 4 I tell her our numbers is lower than the one she is ringing up therefore we should get one first. The cashier has an attitude she says get in her line she will guarentee one. She ran her mouth until the stock boy told her that is it.
All the time the higher numbers was throwing money at the cashier and getting the hell out with the system. The cashier goes to the other cashier takes the last premium one and rings me up. I am happy but I feel like shit because the 24 should have had a system.
number 1-15 should have said they were going to buy 2 if they were plannng to do it.
Some rich guy arrives at 8:00 sat in there hummer. Someone in the 1through 15 group
came out with an extra and slide it to them.
Totally outrageous.
Although it was fun. The ending left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't do it again.
