people waiting in line and it was " less than. as in the '30's or the 40's, and these people want to get the best deals. many of them is a tradition and they come out every year hoping to find the best bargains to be had and spending 12 or 1315 hours to get those bargains that they knew exactly what they wanted and they went right to it by it is good news for retailers. but this basic economy is not great and black friday is black friday for reason, it is the day allotted the is retailers go into the black for the first time so it is a big deal for them and you can see from the checkout line that it has been a good day here by many folks are hoping that it is a scene that will be repeated at around the bay area and around the country because obviously the more time that people come in

here and walk out with big- ticket items the more money that remains. it is generated a positive flow for the economy. >> yes no kidding. earlier you're talking about people that i so much that they get to their car and realize, to fit this into my truck? >> yes you do not want to bring your vw and try and walk out with the head by inch screen. it is an interesting dynamic out here james, i can tell you there's this one guy who had a broken leg and he walked in and sat down on a chair right beside the any sat there for one hour on behalf of the kind of felt like he was diverted gesell and asked him did your family forget about you. are you ok? july said of the smoke signals and he was just left behind. whoever he was with this added that he was a liability more than an asset and and they push and into the closest to her and

shop and the new law to be added that hard. >> no kidding. people the cut in line will not be tolerated. i bet you people waiting it out and the temperature of the law of know in is getting and lighted from that >> them. there were a couple of people that it won the right who slyly attempted to make his way into all little blobby right here that is closed off and one got it slightly decided he was going to peruse the sales rack all little bit before they opened the door but he was quickly grabbed by the collar and shown to the back of the line. >> i'll bet. all but. jackie is keeping a line on the shopping and there is madness all over the bay area. and speaking of madness look at the mall madness. it is thousands of

shoppers rushing to a mall in miami. the line is making around the parking lot of side and it is black friday where it brings out the professionals as we like to call them, the diehard shoppers that are willing to wait in line all night long and it is obviously much as the bay area phenomenon because people over the country doing exactly what we seek in san at francisco said fl. people are lined up to grab the deals. here's some tips, according to consumer reports people are still paying off last year's debt so try not to dig yourself too much more deeply into debt. things. keep your receipts. you never know when you'll have the defective item that you need to return. do not fall for extended warranties. people are always pushing the money it and make you feel you need to get them but you really do not. also look for free it shipping

and that could save you a lot of money. watch out for identity that scams they can beat really hard to fix if you have fallen victim to one of those and while the the kurds might not wrapped up your debt because you're spending money in your checking account that do not for the same protection as credit cards so consider that when you are making a decision on what to use when purchasing. here's a shot of the bay toll plaza as we get a check on our mother for all of those people heading out there. good morning louise >> said. good morning if they're out wasn't enough to deal with. it is clear conditions across san francisco in the course without the clout and is like the heat to escape. and that we broke some more records and places like oakland and a freeze morning and a frost abundant and the cold once the eases up but that is on the rain said sen. here is a look out
