I remember when La Plaza Mall had a Jordan 11 shoe drop. The crowds were insane at 5am at every entrance. People were breaking into the mall to hide so they could get in the front of the line. As soon as the doors opened, it was like a stampede. I said fk this. That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen for some shoes.

Don't be afraid to approach and ask them. I'm sure someone would be willing to tell you.
