Should be exact same as they did black Friday. If that is the case then it's upon entering the store.

Only total of 10 people waiting for the store to open at 7am at the W Broadway location. BD sales is not like it used to be....

I remember I was lining up in front of future shop from 1am in heavy snow 10 years ago. And there were like 100 people lining up with me.. BD is truly dead

I would line up for $50 or maybe $25 but $15, no.

I walked in at 10am and got one. 30 customers in 3 hours. This means Boxing Day is officially dead. RIP.

Lol, Boxing Day is not dead. The Metropolis mall in the lower mainland that I went to was extremely busy, so much so that it was actually kind of suffocating to be there.

If it’s not dead it’s on life support. You clearly weren’t around in the late 90’s early 2000’s when lineups started at 9pm. Every single store was jam packed. Fights were breaking out left and right over $19 dvd players. Websites were crashing 4 minutes into the sale. You had to stand in line (queue) for hours with your virtual cart online just to process payment.

Those days are long gone.

This will be our generations equivalent of the boomers’ walk to school in waist deep snow every day uphill both ways.

that was a case of slow technology back then; i am sure there is more online shopping being done on boxing day now than compared to previously, but you dont have the bottle necks to deal with.

I knew someone would come to say this. How do you explain Costco crashing on Black Friday this year? Nordstorm? Lowes and J Crew on BF 2018? Amazon on Prime Day 2018?

Sales were junk and no there was not more shopping being done just watch the news.

Lots of people at the Staples here I went to. (we have 3 stores) It depends where you are I guess.
I got there just after 5am going extra early and was the first one. The next person arrived already about 15-20 mins after I did. The manager came out with the gift cards well before the store opened, there was already 30 lined up. It was -15c too.

Maybe not a big gift card for some, but I got 4 packages of Tassimo coffee and 2 retractable erasers, and with the gift card it cost me only 1.58 which was a good deal for me.
