Holy s&*(! I went there too! Left an hour early thinking that the worst is that there's no parking and we'd have to circle around. WRONG! Traffic to the outlet was backed up 5 miles both ways. The only store I got something was Coach and it did make my trip worthwhile cause I've been trying to get this one bag for months on ebay and missed it all the time. I got one small bag, 3 wristlets and a letter charm for a friend of mine. BF stood in line for me, the poor dear. I told him never again. The deals weren't that good except for the old patchwork stuff. We got out aroudn 2:45 AM. Never again. If it wasn't for what I got, I'd be royally pissed. I'll post pics of what I got later on.I went to the Hagerstown, MD outlet last night and confirmed my beliefs that outlets were a waste of my life. First off, they didn't plan this well at all. People couldn't even get into the exit to get to the outlets. I really didn't think that THIS many people would come to the outlets.
I mean any other day it's not this busy, but this was like they had doorbusting prices going on (which they didn't). When I finally did get to coach, I walked in and out. They had the line wrapped around in a circle through the tiny store. THEN, you couldn't even walk around there were people everywhere.
So did I buy anything? No. I would not wait in that line if they paid me. I felt like the walls were closing in. All for an additional 20 or 30 percent on some stuff I didn't even like in the first place. I need to save my money for things that are really on my list any way.
So I'm tired and cranky and I have to go to work in an hour. GROWL.

Which exit did you take? BF was contemplating that but he didn't want to get lost. Hehe, I saw those people in PJs too!!!I left at 1:49. We actually took another exit just so that we didn't have to wait in that line. It worked out because we got a parking space right away. I got there at 12 on the dot. All those people all over the place in pajamas, I couldn't help but laugh. It was too cold outside for pjs. When I saw that line in Coach, I knew there was no way I was going to stand in that line. I went right back into Zales with my mom and her friend who was buying a watch.
