Wal-marts Black Thursday BS

[KT2000]

10. It was a complicated scheme

for Black Thursday. They had X number of items for each of their "doorbusters" or what they called events. People lined up at the items they wanted, they were covered in black plastic and the people hoped to be in the allotted number of that item. If so, they got wristbands. At 8 PM they lifted the plastic and the people left over were allowed to come back at 10 PM.
The people who were included had to pick up their items by 10 PM. What was left over (the ones people didn't pick up by 10) were sold to the people who had come back at 10.

There were lots of "event items" so just about every aisle had lines from 6 to 8. The actual time the items were at the really reduced amount was probably minutes.
