Be sure to tune in to the next UpNorthLive Tonight on ABC 29&8 at 6:30 p.m. to find out how Best Buy in Traverse City prepares for holiday shopping mayhem.

Many of us have seen the awful surveillance footage of people being trampled just to get inside the door of a store on Black Friday.

We have also seen the countless number of lines wrapped around store buildings and even people camping out in tents to get their holiday goods.

This shopping season we wanted to know how major retailers like Best Buy prepare their staff for the holiday shopping mayhem.

What happens if things get out of hand?

Do they up security on Black Friday?

How do they keep everything under control on one of the biggest shopping nights of the year?

What are some of the hot ticket items we need to keep our eyes peeled for?

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the answers to all of these questions and more!

Is there something in particular you would like me to ask in my interview tomorrow?

Leave your question in the comments or email me at mmoore@upnorthlive.com.

How Pinteresting: Quick and creative last-minute gifts   

Procrastination can get the best of us anytime of the year, but it can be even worse during the holidays.The bumper-to-bumper traffic can be enough to keep anyone inside until the holiday rush is over, but if you don't get out to get a gift you may be left feeling guilty once the gift giving begins. If you do get stuck in a rut this season, I found a few quick and inexpensive gifts you can whip up as late as 10 minutes before you're due to give a gift.
