A: I can't believe you dragged me out here at 4 am to wait for Best Buy to open. I'm still in afood coma from last night.

B: Are you kidding? Did you see the door buster deals this year? We would've been stupid tonot come.

A: A: I don't understand why you want all this stuff, though. Couldn't we have just slept intoday and bought these things at home from the comfort of our pyjamas on Cyber Monday?

B: Yeah, but the deals just aren't as good. I really want a new DSLR, and the first 15 people incan get one for only $299.99.

A: That's the only reason we're out here waiting in the bitter cold right now?

B: No, they have some great deals on DVDs and other gadgets, too. We can stock up on smallgifts so that we don't have todo anymore Christmas shopping next month. This is such anexciting way to get into the holiday spirit!

A: But honey, I'm Jewish – you know that shopping like this isn't really my version of "holidayspirit".

B: You're right, Hanukkah isn't really about consumerism in the same way that Christmas isthese days. I'll make sure then to not get you that new 4k TV that is only $499.99 for the firstfive people in the door.

A: What?! $499.99?! When are these doors going to open?!
