You're missing the point, Matt. I'm sure the store will still have plenty of toys tomorrow - and the next day, and the next day. But they may be sold out of the really hot items. This isn't about the kid going without a toy, it's about going without a particular toy.
Man, everybody's mellow if you go to Fry's on Black Friday, and you can get some really good computer shit for super-cheap, too. If I don't stay home, I go to Fry's.
@ 5280, no, I get that. Believe me. My response was specifically for what @ 3 said (assuming the kid is "demanding" and not just asking for that present; judging the mom for being a teenage mother instead of a psycho bitch).
If you decide to go to one of these orgies of consumption of cheap plastic shit from China during the holiday season, decide to stand in front of a store door for 12 hours before they open you deserve to get EVERYTHING that you have coming to you. That includes low low prices, gun shot wounds and being trampled to death.
