What does everyone want to find on Black Friday? A great bargain? Well, maybe, but first, you have to find a parking space.
This is the Stonewood Center parking lot on Friday afternoon, with not an empty space in sight. Just lines of cars before and behind me, all looking for the same thing. We don't even care if it's a good spot—any space will do.
Mathematically, your odds of snagging a space are much better if you sit and wait instead of circling the lot. (For the details, see Use math to beat holiday shopping crowds.) Keep that in mind if you venture out to the mall again tomorrow.
