Early birds get the... $8 griddles

As the earliest early birds started tapering off this morning, a second wave of shoppers was just geting started. Several hundred people lined up outside J.C. Penney at the Monroeville Mall ahead of its 6 a.m. opening.
The store actually began letting customers in at 5:55, even though many of the store's lights, set to come on at 6 were still dark. Within 5 minutes the five-quart slow cookers, the toaster ovens, the 12-cup coffee makers and the non-stick griddles all on sale for $8 were gone.
