Many stores run out of popular items early in the day

(AP) -- Business was brisk and stores were already running out of some popular items as the official Christmas shopping season began in metro Atlanta.

At a Walmart in suburban Marietta, popular items like the Rock Band music video game, flat screen televisions, cameras and other electronics were sold out before 7 a.m., two hours after the store opened its doors.  Aside from electronics, store clerks said $2 bath towels, kitchen items and children's toys were also selling well.  Shoppers at the discount store said the line to get in was long and the parking lot packed at 5 a.m.

But, as extremely low-priced "doorbuster" items ran out, checkout lines dwindled and parking spots were easy to find by 7 a.m.
