Best Buy's Black Friday super fans

For most shoppers, the charm of camping out in the early hours of Black Friday to score a deal on a TV has lost its luster now that retailers are making it easy for customers to kick up their feet, scroll on their smartphones and summon packages directly to their doorsteps.

But the Black Friday magic certainly hasn’t faded for Jarvis Johnson, an Avondale, AZ-based man camping outside a Best Buy for the ninth year in a row, Cleveland.com reports. By the time this year's holiday deals come and go, Mr. Black Friday will have spent 33 days living out of a tent.

Meanwhile, some 2,100 miles away, Kevin Sutton is camping outside of a Best Buy near the Florida Mall in Orlando, where he’s been for the last 24 days. Sutton is there chiefly to get his hands on a HDTV, but while he waits, he’s also collecting canned goods, clothing and donations for homeless families in the area.

Best Buy tapped the super fans for a series of Black Friday commercials.

Woman sniffs out latest Zara snafu

Zara has yet again found itself in the middle of a controversy, and this one stinks.

Earlier this week, New Yorker Cailey Fiesel alleged in a Manhattan Supreme Court that she discovered a pungent odor coming from a dress she purchased at the fast-fashion retailer’s Greenwich, CT store last summer. “To her utter shock and disbelief, as she ran her hand over the hem of the dress she felt an unusual bulge and suddenly realized that it was not a string that was rubbing against her leg but was instead a leg rubbing against her leg. The leg of a dead rodent, that is,” Fiesel's attorney Adam Deutsch said in court papers obtained by Daily News.

Fiesel claims the dress was “unfit for its intended purpose and unreasonably hazardous, causing personal injury to the plaintiff.” Zara says it’s looking into the matter. It’s unclear how many psychiatric appointments it takes to recover from spending a day wearing a dead rat. 

Dollar General cashier serenades customers

If you’re ever looking for live music in Lansing, MI, travel no farther than the Dollar General.

Lucas Holliday, A cashier there, is a favorite local singer, at least for Nakia Robinson who posted a video of Holliday’s angelic vocals last week. The clip later went viral, garnering over 635,000 views.

When he’s not on duty at the off-price retailer, The Huffington Post reports Holliday sings in a local band, Tell Yo Mama. If you’re still working through post-election woes, this funky band will give you all the feels.

Customers line up for Snapchat Spectacles

Move over, Google Glass. Snapchat Spectacles are here to take the market you never captured.

Google’s over-hyped augmented reality-enabled eyewear tumbled severely, and about a year ago the company cut Glass sales entirely. But consumers are giving the technology another shot now that it’s being touted by trendy social media company Snap Inc. Consumers are eagerly standing in absurdly long lines to get their hands on a pair of Snapchat Spectacles — eyeglasses equipped with a built-in camera for video capture — from the Snapbot, essentially a vending machine crossed with a traveling pop-up shop.

Web developer Scott Buscemi tweeted a video of the incredibly long Snapbot line in Santa Monica on Thursday:

The Snapbot has so far traveled from California locales like Venice Beach and Big Sur to the small town of Catoosa, OK. Snap has left consumers in suspense of the bot's next surprise location, but Business Insider suspects it's headed out east.
