I was at the mall on Saturday afternoon. In one store, there were two other shoppers. In the rest I was in, I was the ONLY one. It was almost eerie.
Prices were in the basement... got the girl two pairs of school jeans and a pair of dress boots for $15 total.
A Kmart by me doesn’t even staff electronics anymore; when a cluster of three or more customers gather the lady in jewelry nearby calls someone on a public accress system.
I like the falling prices, but you’d be amazed how crappy some of the cheap Red Chinese stuff is; book bags where the zipper pulls come off in a week or two, sneakers where the seams tear after a couple of real uses, etc.
How much did these companies make selling this garbage for “American” prices while paying Red Chinese slaves pennies a day to make it?
