I was trying to buy stuff at Future Shop, Best Buy and <a href="http://ncix.com" title="NCIX" rel="nofollow">NCIX</a>. NCIX crashed, and Future Shop and Best Buy has this new queue thing where you'd be put in a queue to checkout on popular items. Well... the queue didn't actually work properly. The progress bar never moved, and I was never redirected to actually checkout (nor could I actually checkout). I left the page open for at least 2 hours, and nothing happened. They did eventually fix it, but the thing I was trying to buy at Future Shop was sold out by then (but it's fine, since I decided I wanted the other choice I had). Future Shop ships it from Ontario too, even though there's a distribution center not far from my house... Online Boxing Day shopping was probably more annoying than going to the store…
