The Saks annual "Day After Christmas Sale" is not for the weak: Not only are there enormous crowd and long lines, but there's also a generous amount of aggression. Starting at 8 a.m., all items are 50 percent off the lowest price until noon, causing a panicked dash once doors open. In an attempt to stave off last year's terrifying mob scene, barriers were set up outside to ensure orderly lines at both entrances. By 7:30 a.m., the line had wrapped around the corner and twenty minutes later, it was almost down the block. Behind us, two women plotted their shopping strategy (seeking: a Burberry children's snowsuit), while stamping their feet in an attempt to keep warm in the 29-degree temps. It felt a bit like New Year's Eve, constantly checking on the time, but waiting for the clock to strike eight, not midnight. Once it did, the line began moving briskly as security begged excited shoppers not to run in the store.
