What's your point? Sales jumped but profit margins shrunk...has nothing to do with them not saying "Merry Christmas," as obviously more people came into the stores.

To be sure, BBY's story is the same as all the retailers this year...decent sales but only because everyone heavily discounted.

Shhhhh. Let these people delight in their glee by thinking that a Christian boycott of Best Buy made the retail giant suffer, feel agony, regret, shame and sorrow for their failure to exploit religion as a part of their marketing plan.

One of my points was to say that retailers who disrespect their customers may lose some of their customers.

Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman at Best Buy Co. Inc., says their advertising will not be using the term "Merry Christmas."

While many other retailers have decided to return to the traditional "Merry Christmas", Best Buy will not be among them. Best Buy considers the use of "Merry Christmas" to be disrespectful.

Don't show that you realize what the numbers ACTUALLY say....

That's verboten on boycott threads....

And actually the profit margin didn't even shrink, it was just lower than expected. This is one of those "no really it's bad news" stories.
