Most of the people got here early so they could get one of these. Amongst these hungry holiday shoppers, it's like paper gold. Not only were the Tickle Me Elmo vouchers going quick, but Nintendo 64 was also in high demand. You want to get in and get out fast. How long is it gonna take you? We're gonna show you we have *** stopwatch right here. We're going to start it and then go get that all elusive item, that Nintendo 64. Let's go. Excuse me, ma'am. Where could I get *** Nintendo 64? If you follow the main back to the stockroom. They're taking vouchers there, taking vouchers, so I can't just pick one up. No, you have to voucher, OK. So far so good. What's here for *** donut. Well, 2 minutes after it started, we found the Nintendos. Still have to get that voucher though. So you're the Nintendo guru, huh? Is this where you get *** voucher? Uh, all the vouchers are gone. They're gone. All gone. We sold out this morning about 5, 10 minutes after the store. Wow, 5 or 10 minutes and they're gone. Yeah, I guess it's time to go to the next store. Sorry.
