I don't see the value in spending 31 hours waiting on a store to open so you can buy a 42 inch tv for $200. 11/23/2011 5:34:25 PM |

^^I'm sure someone industrious could make a graph to show the tipping point of the savings versus hourly wage and figure out at which point it becomes ridiculous
^I about did.
Besides anyone who's ever worked retail knows that half of the stuff is just bullshit to get you in the door and spending on higher margin items, a lot of times its shit that people don't want to buy at average prices and so they unload it out as a "super" deal and clear out crap stock that would just be sitting around otherwise 11/23/2011 5:40:30 PM |

The dad will probably get a laptop (or whatever else they can make the most money on) and he'll get his wife and kids to buy one too. Then he'll sell them all and make like $600.
And they'll have all those awesome Thanksgiving memories of sitting on the sidewalk and being stared at for two days.11/23/2011 5:41:06 PM |

Federal minimum wage is what, $7.25/hour these days? So sitting outside in a tent for 31 hours would equal $224.75. If you wanted to just count the 8-hour workday then that's $116. Plus there's sitting out in the cold looking like a loser asshole when you could be in the comfort of your own home eating turkey to consider. 11/23/2011 5:44:44 PM |
