Although, when we were in Tampa I did see one nice story on the news. They were interviewing some guy who DIDN'T get the video game he had gotten up early and gone to the store to get for his son for Christmas.They asked him if he was upset and he was such a nice guy. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hey...she got here first. That's how it works." Then the camera panned to the woman standing in line with two boxes of the video thingy. And then...the woman walked over to the man and handed him one of he boxes and said, "Merry Christmas!" and walked away.<br /><br />It was kind of a cool thing to see...especially after having just seen the stories of the rudeness and shoving and stepping over a dying man. There are some good people left in the world.<br /><br />I'm glad your shopping experience was mellow, even if it did just consist of checking email and carving out some time to yourself!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019980832742495532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-7604365372509248902011-11-29T20:24:00.525-05:002011-11-29T20:24:00.525-05:00I went out about 10:30am on Friday morning after c...I went out about 10:30am on Friday morning after calling Academy to see if they still had the item I wanted in the store. They had 8 left. I parked (close), walked in, went the opposite direction in the store than I needed to, checked out all the HOT DEALS, found what I wanted, had the store guys put it in my truck after standing in line for less than 5 minutes, and drove home. <br /><br />Staying up all night to shop? Not a chance. Glad you got to read email in some peace and quiet. :)Foursonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470306593323990269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-16086708965987233572011-11-29T16:46:50.064-05:002011-11-29T16:46:50.064-05:00Ha!!
