What Are You Waiting In Line For?

It's Black Friday, and that means great deals—and huge crowds. What makes it worth the wait for you this year?

It's the official start of the holiday shopping season... Get ready for stores to open earlier than ever (even on Thanksgiving night), lines and incredible deals.

Are you out shopping today? Upload a picture of yourself waiting in line (outside or inside) and be sure to share your bargains in the comments!

I am waiting in line for one reason only- I want to get the PERECT photo of America's version of The Running of the Bulls.

The face of Christmas (the celebration of Jesus' birth) and the holidays in the US - utter chaos and violence.

Unbelievable. Imagine if those who stood in the soup lines during the depression just to get something to eat, could see this now.

Only in America can you trample over people for new things the day after you give thanks for the things you already have. Until our donkey messiah decrees otherwise, long live Capitalism!

I'm not waiting in line. Never have, never will. I'd rather pay extra than fight my fellow human beings over an iPad, no matter how great the bargain is.

I just think it's a bit unnerving to consider that, for a significant percentage of our nation's largest retailers, the difference between a good year and a not-so-good year hangs on the number of folks willing to risk bodily harm in order to save 20% on something they might very well be able to save 25% on in a less frenetic environment 3 weeks down the line. That situation can't last forever.

I will never again wait in line on Black Friday! I had to wait over 2 Hours to check out at Kohl's and to me that is just ridiculous.

Perplexed by your answer? The question was how long did you wait in line and what was your bargain.
