My "Black Friday" Experience at Best Buy (edited  ... just the facts, please, without stereotypical, fabricated slurs ... Thanks, crash)

Just returned from Best Buy to pick up a GPS unit for $129. Thinking I could run, pick it up, and get out of there quick.
Wrong.
There was a line for the cash registers that went halfway around the perimeter of the store. I mean, they had the line backed up through the entire appliance section.
I took note of what kind of people were shopping and what they were buying.
I could not believe the reckless spending going on. It was incredulous.
A short guy who looked like a short-order cook at a cheap restaurant had a 40" LCD and a 21" iMac in one shopping cart.
Another guy who looked like a garbage collector had a brand new Sony Playstation and he must have had at least 25 games in his cart.
A woman had a 32" no-name LCD, a Blu-Ray player, a home theater speaker system, and a no-name laptop computer in one cart.
The store had security guards and traffic cops everywhere to direct the hordes of shoppers in an out of the store, and had cops directing traffic in the entire shopping complex.
There was such a shortage of parking, people with big trucks simply parked on the sidewalks, medians, etc.
The city had tow trucks hauling off the illegal parking.
The whole scene was surreal...
