They said "tons" on the first day at Oakridge too. But it didn't get to more than 200 in line. But hopefully they learned from that and they have more this time round.

Yep.. Worst fucking experience. I'm at the front of the line and they keep letting random people go in. More than half the staff aren't doing jack. The wooing and screaming is getting very annoying.

These 3 asian people, took about 2 hours each.

there were a lot of new people at the activation department.. there were only 2 guys that actually knew what they were doing, and in the beginning there were only 8 reps, then they got more which quickened things up

Insane day.
Lined up 3am-730am outside, then they only let about 200 people into mall. Pretty much cut off and left about 400 people outside. At 730, the 60 people that were suppose to be ahead of us, jumped to about 120 people....friends and more friends....

Then we pretty much waited from 8pm to 2pm to even come CLOSE to getting into the store. The average time was 7 people per hour with like what....7-8 reps only? There were 2 lines. One for grand opening people, and one for iphone4. Media was everywhere.

As for stock, they had quite a bit. A guy went around with a ipad taking orders from people, like McDonalds. "2 each? okay, what size? locked? upgrade?". All people had to do was wait really. They guranteed people phones as long as they were willing to wait. When the Ipad ran out of stock, they just turned people away. But that was after like..300 people?
