I've been curious to know the fate of one person and their dilemma that arose upon checking out.  Apparently, they had picked up a pair of size 15 shoes and had second thoughts about purchasing them.  The unfortunate part was that their car keys were in that box they put back on the table.  They were asking a lot of shoppers in line if the had any of that size shoes among the items they were purchasing.  After reflecting upon that predicament, I remarked to my son that our experience could've been worse.

I really appreciated people placing items in piles on the floor as I ended up with a few of those items, especially stuff like socks and tights.  My son and I had plenty of time to peruse while the other waited in line.

This is my attempt to put a good spin on the really long lines:  it gave me time to pick up items for loved ones.  For instance, in the mad rush, I hadn't picked up anything for my young daughter. While in line, spying the women's lacrosse and field hockey jerseys made me realize the tight fit could allow her to wear them.  She really appreciated that I picked up a few for her.

Spent WAY too much money, but my and I have had fun comparing retail prices in the stores with what we ended up with.

In all, my teenager and I had a great time.  Having it coincide with our summer weather reprieve vacation from North Carolina was fortuitous.  While it was indeed stifling inside the field house, I still found it better than the triple digit heat index that I would have been exposed to down south.
