[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 510442, member: 51"]Just got back from our local GW. Talk about depressing. For some reason our GW is now loading many of the shelves with unsold blue-tag Target goods. Past expiration date holiday, that kind of thing. They have two huge full shelves of unsold New Years Eve merch. Might even say "2018" on it. What a waste of shelf space. It's just going to sit and sit and take up space where Steuben Aurene bowls could be. Some law firm donated 60 pink made in China advertising coffee cups, taking up an entire shelf in dishware. New manager, I almost wonder if he is loading the shelves with items that don't sell for some reason. Sending EVERYTHING else off. So, no I don't wait in line on 50% off day. But I know people used to do so a few years back, when they had better stock on the floor. Estate sales, I do wait in line. Of course exceptions, but in general the best stuff goes in the first few minutes. Luckily there have been a few good estate sales recently, otherwise I don't know where I'd get my stock.[/QUOTE]
