Front lines - again
Ms. Shawna just called in another dispatch. This time, she’s waiting in line at Target, which she predicts will take a total of 1.5 hours to reach the register.
And the scene was “pandemonium insane.” Our friend and yours said there was almost a fist fight among the rosy-cheeked shoppers after the line had to be shifted so people could continue to walk through the store.
Walmart she found to be busy, but orderly. Target being the most insane by far. Next up is KMart and Meijer.
I made the mistake of asking if she was done after the next store or two.
“No, no, no!”
My goodness, the stamina required. After hitting up other stores in Monroe, Ms. Shawna was planning on trading her sister in for her kids and hubby, going up to Taylor for other stores, grabbing some lunch and “we’re making a day of it.”
So, if by 11 a.m., you’ve already been out for 8+ hours, doesn’t that kind of qualify as making a day out of it? I know I’m ready for bed and I haven’t been up for nearly as long.

I was in Target this morning at 0630. It was a complete madhouse. I got out at about 0830. By that time things had calmed down some and people waiting in line were more friendly. I think the employees had some maneuvering of checkout lines that made everyone mad at first. But once that was done, things moved more quickly. I was only in line for about 25 min and it started back in ladies wear and circled around south through electronics and back to the front.
