Only had to do the captcha once and it didn't do the weird shit where it just keeps reloading and I got there at, like, 4:48/9. If I get stuck over an hour then I don't even know anymore. lol

There's gotta be a better way for Walmart to handle sales that doesn't require super-spreader camp-outs.

Joined 6 minutes late just for fun. If I get through for some reason I will find someone to sell it too at cost!

Last week I had one that started at over an hour and was at 4 minutes when they went OOS (in way less than an hour). Who even knows how this works.

I got in right as Wario tweeted (1:47 local), and only had one captcha. Quickly flashed 17 minutes before jumping to over an hour, so we'll see.

Queue came on while I was at work and of course my twitter notifications were not working at all. How could such a popular website have such a crappy app.

This is not correct. There may be small amounts of randomness to it but I've done this queue a dozen times and every tab I open goes in order of when I opened it. It's not random.

Yup.

It's supposed to be random, per the company that makes the queue system, but it does not seem ot be the case. Most people who got fucked with the multiple captchas the other day were stuck on over an hour 'cus the got in there a minute too late. And like you said, each time I've opened up 5-6 tabs they all go in the order that they opened them.

I got in faster than before but I keep forgetting all the captcha fuckery. It would look like it took and then give me another one. Or just make me check the box. I feel like I lost a lot of valuable time. Oh well. We'll see. Time for more

I've said this before but I wish they would keep track of how many queues you've been in. Like, if you've done 12 or so queues then maybe it'll cut me some fucking slack next time.

I was seven minutes late. Twitter app decided to skip notifying me, apparently. Oh well. I'll keep it open in the background just out of curiosity to see how close I get.

Wonder if they'll do Tuesday and Thursday for queues this week, since they did Monday, Wedneday, and Friday last weekk.
