Holding Out For A Hero

(Charles Roop / Alligator Staff) Shweta Mokashi waits in line in a tent outside of Best Buy on Archer Road on Thursday night for the Black Friday sales. Mokashi said she had been in line since 5 p.m. Wednesday. Shoppers across the country packed retail stores Friday in a bid to snag the best bargains. Although sales were better than expected over the holiday weekend, the spike may have been due to shoppers buying items from discount stores like Wal-Mart. That could mean bad news for more upscale chains. Macy's Inc. and Toys "R" Us were two stores expected to do well over the weekend. Charles Roop
