Default BLACK FRIDAY IS A SCAM!!!!!

So I waited until Black Friday to get a new LCD tv on a really good sale.

I checked stock last night on a local Bestbuy, they had 4 in stock on the tv i wanted. I line up this morning and I am 3rd in the line. I get inside, go the tv section and the dude says they are all sold out of the tv i wanted. WTF? I also checked on a camera right after for my sister, that was suppose to be like 70% off and they didnt have any instock either!

Either 2 things happened. The guys at bestbuy bought all the tv's and cameras or they purposely don't stock the super sale items that day to lure you in a buy other stuff on a so-so sale. Fuck black friday.

Employees always get 1st dibs on merchandise. Ppl line up on black Friday due to good advertizing and mob mentality.

You should have asked the store manager for a raincheck. If they're out of stock of the items offered, they have to give you a raincheck for that item at the advertised price. Otherwise they're breaking the law, since it's illegal to use items they don't have to get you into the store (false advertising and all that).

I am pretty sure there was no rain checks.

You know, they can say "No rain checks", but it doesn't matter. They advertised an item at a price and did not have them when the store opened for business. Had they run out after 15 minutes, then I could see a no rain check policy, but if they didn't have them when the store opened that policy means dick.

Stop being poor if you want a TV and you have to wait in line for 6 hours in the cold to get it cheaper then you can't afford it anyways.
