I only saw one long line in the news and it was at JC Penny, don't know what they had to draw the crowds we rarely see anymore. The bargain prices started long ago and I think the thrill of push and pull is a thing of the past, at least in our area.
Our daughter here told me of a sweater from Aldi she would like . We went there and the gal stocker said they got 2 cases and sold out in a few hrs. This was before Thanksgiving.
