Asked at Shawnee Library and Civic Centre on December 2, 2008

“I didn’t go, because I knew there would be crowds and I didn’t want to deal with it. But I did see some things I wanted, and I thought I’d go get them the next day.”

— Walter Bramlage, Shawnee

“I think it’s worth it to go, but not when they open. The poor worker that was trampled to death in New York, it’s not worth a human life. There’s good sales, but it’s not worth it to get up at three in the morning.”

— Donna Hayward, Edwardsville

“I went last year, but I didn’t go this year because they put out such a small amount of the cheap products, only the people that get in line really early can get them.”

— Elizabeth Ruiz, Shawnee
