 Wow. But I guess I should've expected this. 2 guys and a girl in line for the new PlayStation 3 (PS3) almost 16 hours early! Let me start from the beginning of my day. So, Honda finally fixed my car, mostly. For only $1249.24. I gladly traded them back their Fit for my Civic on Monday (the 13th), but I think they forgot about my not-so-straight steering wheel / alignment. So, they got me back in this morning at 09:00 and back out again by Noon. I needed a new battery, as well. Hmmm. As much as I like my car, I still keep trying to convince myself that any domestic car would cost more in repairs & maintenance. Getting harder and harder to do. Whatever. So, just before buying my every-second-year pair of shoes today from Sears for under $30.00 (see if I can walk 2 years in these cheap suckers!), I stopped at Future Shop for a quick work related visit. Now, my first thought when I see loiterers hanging around the front door is that they're out for a cancer break. But, what I found out a little later is, those 3 loiterers are tomorrow's customers. Literally. These 2 guys and a girl, (who gladly held an empty PS3 display box for a couple of photo's) are planning on spending the night here on the sidewalk in order to get their hands on a limited quantity $700 video game system. Granted they'll most likely sell it for more on ebay, but wow. The way I see it, I get to get into my comfy bed tonight, go into work tomorrow at 07:30 (earlier than normal, so we can open at 08:00 for our PS3 customers) and probably make in commission what they will reselling the system. Hopefully, anyway. But, I hope they have a fun night. It's only supposed to get to -7C tonight. I'll be seeing them in the morning!
