I've always wanted to go Boxing Day shopping. This year was
not the year to start.
I did, however, hit up a few stores… in a small town neighboring my home town. With a small town comes a small crowd.
It wasn't as bad as Boxing Day likely is… but it might have
been close.
While buying something in a video game store (don’t judge
me) the sales guy was trying to sell me a few additional things… only to find
out, he couldn't sell them, he was sold out. In fact, it looked like a tornado
had gone through most stores.
Shelves were barren, whole isles torn apart at the seams by
shoppers getting next year’s Christmas gifts (hmmm… maybe I should have done
that)
Moral of the story. Boxing Week shopping is fun… but it’s
also not something to do in a rush… especially if it involves Customer Service.
15 minute lines are a little crazy.
