I went out Friday around 10 A.M. to get a few necessities and noticed the local Wal-Mart was only slightly busier than on a normal day.
When I went to check out, there were six or seven cashiers standing beside their registers with no one in line.
I would guess the decline was more than 10%. I do think on line saies are part of it but a big thing was I did not see any real bargains except for one TV set.
Well, there’s that and the fact that people can’t spend what they don’t have.
