It happens all the time to me. I hate long lines too. I think online shopping is more and more appealing now. Although, I do enjoy some people watching from time to time. This mad dash at Christmas is just too annoying at time for me.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470810712605287458noreply@blogger.com
