She wanted to be first in line because last year, she waited too long to get in line and ended up being #17 in line. When the BB opened, the store had only 15 flat screen tvs, which is what she was in the market for.
Who needs all the latest bells and whistles especially in today's economy? A new tv shows the same programs as the old tv. We have two old tvs that were going to be thrown out because someone just had to buy new big flat screens. I've never understood how people can throw away money like that.
Camping outside BB for two weeks is also mind boggling. If that woman had worked for a week, she'd have made enough to buy a much larger tv and home watching the parade on Thanksgiving morning rather than freezing in the parking lot. But "work" is a four letter word for too many.
