🕓 My Experience in Line
I visited the store around 11:00 AM, thinking it might still be okay—but by 11:10, all sales for the day had already closed.
The speed of the sell-out was honestly shocking!
Both the standing and sitting versions were completely gone within minutes.
If you arrive after 10:30, there’s a high chance you’ll miss out.
