Me, my mom, my niece and our friend Mary Ellen didn't wake up at 3am to go shopping. We instead enjoyed a nice breakfast, got showered and then at 9am made our way out into the craziness of Overland Park to a few stores to snag some good deals. First stop was Kohl's. I should have known by the packed parking lot what we were in store for. But we all had positive attitudes going into it that there would be busy parking lots, lines to wait in and being confronted with rude people so we were prepared.
We started off by waiting by the registers for a shopping cart. We had our eye on one for about 10 min and just as the lady was done unloading it some other rude shopper cut in front of us and snatched our cart away & didn't bother to ask us if we were waiting for it. Gone...just like that! Amazed by her rudeness, a very nice lady offered her cart shortly after the incident and we were off. We managed to get several good bargains and after about an hour we made our way to the front to get in line. To our surprise, there was a line from the front of the store that wrapped all the way around to the back of the store on BOTH sides. It ended up taking us an hour to check out but we made it a positive experience by browsing as we stood in line and chatting away.
Next stop was Archivers which was not busy at all. That was a quick in and out. Then we were off to Hobby Lobby. This was a busy place as well but did not take long to check out. We all walked out of there with some new Xmas decorations, wrapping paper, etc and decided we were done shopping for the day. We stopped for lunch at Red Robin and made our way home for some rest & relaxation.
