Front page of the NYT features tents in front of Texas Best Buy

This got me curious, so on my early morning trip for a coffee and a newspaper, I thought I'd drive over to the Best Buy and scope it out.

Certainly this couldn't be the case here, not at 8:30 a.m.

Oh boy! There were already 14 people in line, one with an 'Occupy Best Buy' sign which is sure to run on the front page tomorrow morning, :sigh:

I spoke with the first two in line, they had been there since 8:30 p.m. last night. He laughed how his wife was brining him his Thanksgiving dinner later this afteroon, that they were going to Skype dinner with the family together tonight, WTF?!

This consume, consume, CONSUME society has completely taken over people's lives...

1. amateur shoppers

People that only shop once a year. They are on a budget. They are really the normal ones.

2. This is *not* normal...

SKYPE in lieu of attending dinner with family is not *normal*
