The giant B&H Photo-Video emporium on 9th Avenue and 34th Street has long observed Jewish holidays...but we never realized just how crazy it can get before they close! Reader Michael Tapp took the above photo yesterday, and painted us a picture of the craziness of the scene: "The checkout line an hour before B&H Photo Video shuts down Passover (8 Days). The wait was over an hour long and one of the clerks said that this was the busiest he has ever seen the store. A few B&H employees couldn't even figure out where the line started on the 1st floor."
Is loading up on electronics a new pre-Passover tradition? It's not like you can even pick up your deadly plague toys there.
