At least in the former Soviet Union when people stood in long lines it was in the hope of purchasing something useful like food or toilet paper.

Now people will stand in lines for hours ... or even camp in line for days ... to purchase what? Tickets to a crappy Star Wars movie or 25% off on some unnecessary electronic gizmo.

Sheesh!

It's worse even than that.

Look what they do for Black Friday...idiots. The week Kroger’s puts gift cards at 4 times the gas points, I go buy enough for the 7 grands and 5 great grands and hubby’s Christmas presents in Amazon cards. 10 mins, no fuss, very little line. And I don’t have to go to the dreaded shops with rude pushing people and not enough cashiers or stock, not to mention I can’t carry my gun in those places all have those no gun signs up. Crime in Memphis is bad. Drivers are worse. Ditto goes for BD cards, I load up on Amazon cards when they go to 4 times the gas points. Same goes for eating out gift cards. Nice to have $1 off a 35 gal of gas a couple times a month. And Discover gives me 1% cash back too.

Hubby took grandson 14 to the new big Bass Pro in Memphis, cost noting but the gas, then they went to Mud Island Museum, that cost a whopping $27 with admission and $3 sodas, plus the gas. Bass Pro was the big hit, kid likes hunting and fishing.
