Circuit City Waiters Get Cash Offer
They nine people lined up in front of the darked Circuit City look, for all the world, like cadavers.
They lay, side-by-side, stretched out in sleeping bags that cover them from head-to-toe, just their ashen and weary faces are visible.
There's a boom box sitting nearby, softly playing some non-descript music. At the front of the line is a red sign, it says they are getting eight 60GB PS3s.
They group laugh and point to one guy when I ask which one of them isn't getting the console. "I'm sharing it with him," the singled-out guy says motioning to his neighbor.
They seem exhausted. But they should be, they've been in the line since Tuesday. At one point, they say, someone came by the line and offered then $1,500 cash for a spot in their line. No one took the guy up on the offer.
"You can make a lot more on eBay," one of the line-waiters said.
