220 people wouldn't be bad. The one here had a line of probably (I'm guessing) 2000+ people. I waited for over 15 minutes for the people to cram inside.

Fortunately, I was able to get the Sony point-and-shoot camera I came for, though. I was lucky to have stumbled upon a disoriented BestBuy employee handing out tickets to the crowd when I walked up from behind him. He asked "Are you from the front of the line?" and of course I said "Yes." He looked at me very suspiciously because I'm sure he knew I was most likely full of shit, and handed me the ticket.
