They closed the lines to anyone arriving after about 11am EDT. At that time the wait was rumored to be six hours. A friend of ours braved it and her daughter got the bear she wanted, but mom has vowed never again. She heard one woman was there with twelve kids.

My wife had planned to meet some friends with our 2 daughters but the mall cancelled the event because of the lines that were forming.

People are damn stupid. Think about that. They can get a BaB for what, 30 or 40 bucks? So for the chance to save $25 or so they wait 6 hours? They value their time at $4/hr?

I think the same when I see long lines at Costco or Sam’s gas stations. To save 5 cents a gallon people will wait 1/2 hour? Most cars will put in at most 10 gallons. 1/2 hour for 50 cents? Ashtray change? Time is worth a buck an hour? Really?

I repeat: People are damn stupid.
