    I certainly hope all these people are gainfully employed and are taking the day off.

  2. Really You 2!!!!! says:

    By the way, my boss wants to know where the chair with the foot rest came from, now THAT, she will purchase during Black Friday if its available.

  3. Rhonnie aka BlueFamiliar says:

    Way to go, ladies.

  4. Unbelievable says:

    It’s funny and sad at the same time.

    • Yahoo says:

      But mostly sad.

    • Allspice says:

      Getting in there with the grand Bermudian traditions of Thanksgiving! The Army Navy game, sweet pumpkin pie and the Stars and Bars!
      I feel such pride!

  5. Shannon says:

    If you’re that pressed to save a few dollars maybe you should reconsider if you need whatever you’re there to purchase.

    Priorities…

    • Happy says:

      Their priorities are different than yours. Just like every single other person in the world. Who cares? If you can save $300, that’s somehow a bad thing?

  6. Truth is killin' me... says:

    It’s all about the latest and greatest model people…DUUUUH! Noooow where did I put September’s Belco bill before it get’s turned off!?

    • Happy says:

      Hahahhaha, you’re so funny!

    • Tell the Truth says:

      Why do you care though? Why are so many people like you concerned with what other people do with THEIR money. I’m sure that most of you complaining spend money on frivolous crap too. Unless you are paying their light bill I suggest you shut up. The same miserable people saying the same nonsense every year. Give it a rest and NO I am not either of these ladies nor do I know them. You miserable and broke? Jealous? Unhappy in life? What is it?

      • Truth is killin' me... says:

        Beeeecause through your spendthrift lifestyles you put others in a position to bale your a**es out when you’ve hit bottom! Be wise with yah money!! JUST SAYIN’. Go google spendthrift!!!

        • Tell the Truth says:

          You are making assumptions. You sound like a jealous idiot. Why assume because they are buying discounted phones that they can’t or don’t pay their bills? Typical ignorance. So trying to SAVE money (which is the whole point) makes you believe they are reckless and irresponsible with their money? What they are doing directly contradicts your idiotic claims. Moron. Google that. Instead of micromanaging other peoples money you should do yourself a favor and buy a dictionary.

          • Kunta says:

            Its called STEREOTYPING, in America its used to murder people, but in Bermuda its social, economic and psychological murder.

            • Christopher James says:

              You are being a bit dramatic Kunta – even for you this is dramatic.

          • Truth is killin' me... says:

            Thanks for calling me an idiot. Merry Christmas to you and yours! I never called you any names. But I will now…save your money fool. You never know when you may need it.

          • How it works says:

            @tell the truth,, you truly have no idea do you ?

  7. D says:

    Contract contract u cant get out of it

  8. Eric Shawn says:

    I always thought we were better than the animal in the US who camp outside the very corporate outlets who screw them over on a daily basis to buy things that they can’t afford under normal circumstances to show off what their new device can do, which is only a tiny fraction of its maximum functionality, to people who don’t even care because they have the same thing.

    • Perry says:

      Brilliantly put.

    • Hurricane says:

      Well, if anything positive is to be learned from all of this, I hope you learned that you (we) are “better” than no one.

    • Tell the Truth says:

      Why do you care though? Grinch much. “The very corporate outlets who screw them over on a daily basis.” Lmao. Yeah okay and so you never buy anything from any store, ever. That’s life and that’s everywhere but you go boy, way to fight the power. You are definitely superior to those silly Americans.

  9. Lol smileyface says:

    Bermudians are such hatas. Always worried about the next person. Since you don’t have to buy the phone or pay the bill, why are you so worried about it?

    • Typhoon says:

      It’s called keeping up with the Jones, unfortunately the Jones are broke.

  10. Calee says:

    One word to describe the activity, especially in the U.S.: Tradition.

  11. Interesting says:

    It’s their money let them spend it on what they like.

  12. Roy Rogers says:

    Think they’ll be having more KFC?

  13. Lizard Leap says:

    I chalked off a square foot directly in from of the door and wrote my name inside of the square. This reserves my place as first in line and I will be there just before the shop opens, thanks for saving my place and don’t worry, I won’t be late. Can’t wait to get my new phone and plan to have it working in a couple of weeks or as soon as I get a job.

    • Creamy says:

      You should have spray painted your space. That way, no one can erase it and steal ya spot.

  14. Tom Cooke says:

    I didn’t think the deals at digicel where worth waiting in line all that time for a couple of hundred dollar’s. .

  15. Southampton #29 says:

    There are young that is what you do when you are young. Enjoy life. Bermudians take everything too fri**ing far. Who cares if they sit outside and wait? Have fun ladies.. I will be sleeping but if I was your young age I might be sitting right next to you. Life is too short.

  16. Terry says:

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
    Shalom.

  17. C.B. says:

    Lmaoooo. No way. Wait till I see them

  18. foolishppl says:

    wish they could do that to those who over spent our money for Port Royal..and sit in front of their steps until they tell us who,why,when,which,whom and WHERE our money went!!!!600 PERCENT ..just show how ppl in this country are DANGEROUSLY BRAINWASHED and CULT CONSUMED

  19. Watcher55 says:

    Good for Digicel, wonder who they are taking over next?

  20. Jahstice says:

    We will be lining up for handouts if the govt is changed!

  21. Keepin' it Real!...4Real! says:

    i’m just wondering if these places of business will be satisfied as much as the consumers will be at the end of the day…if their answer is NO, then why do they do it…if their answer is YES, then why don’t they do it EVERYDAY, and have the masses outside happy to spend their cash…do you see what i see..?

  22. Infidelguy says:

    One again the corporate puppet masters are hard at work with their social manipulation activities. Tis the season for mass hysteria!

    ;)

  23. Triangle Drifter says:

    Here comes D rain!!!!

  24. IOU says:

    Saying doe who’s thinking thurr goin black friday with no money at all to get de free fone at digicel

    I think all de bumms should offer to carry people bags from tips.

    • Varied says:

      This is where Jinx and others should be able to get a few bits of change at least, they *know* the ppl in line have some bucks

  25. sebring says:

    Be carefull people!
    one would think with a money hungry gun man on the loose all these people become easy prey! the rain may have saved some!

  26. wheels says:

    Americans are waiting in lines and waiting crazy times to save an amount of money and for much less!!!

  27. globoy says:

    Belco should have a black friday!

  28. I am not better than the next person ,we have a different culture,and indevidually we differ again, each of us with our own determining factors ,rusulting our understanding ,social desires and serendipities…Every now and then do this one thing…pay a visit to a person without any choices in life….take a moment to realise just how “fortunate”,you are…
