Many stores have limited numbers of items. If you are getting minimum wage, and have the opportunity to buy something major that you could never hope to afford otherwise, but only if you are one of the first 20 or so people in the store, that is a very high motivation. More so if others are counting on you.

sort of like dangling a pork chop out the window of the carriage as you pass the subjects huh ?
thats the world we live in…. keep em preoccupied with flash and dazzle, and we “rulers” can do as we please
 
and as long as we as a people put worth on ourselves to the point of “i NEED the new 50” tv. my “old” 32″ is beneath me now, they will continue to do so…. and we will continue to wait in lines for BS
