You think sales are down this year?
News says yes. But i tell ya...ive been fighting traffic for 3 days thats near walmart,gamestop etc and they are backed up like its black friday all over again. Spent 3 hours out today to pick up 2 things.

Its been terrible everywhere, I think sales are up, I have not had this much of a problem getting things, but it might just be last minute shoppers, the people who were putting of xmas shopping thinking the world was really ending, and then it didnt, and they were like "oh ****, I have to get gifts"

I would definitely say it's due to laziness of people, waiting last minute. I've worked retail around Christmas before, and people are almost all nearly frantic, with a few people thrown in genuinely out at stores for something they need, like milk.

I know my store is up like $70k from this time last year. We don't do a single xmas sale either! The only sale we ever have is 10% off everything the entire month of September. We will end the year just shy of $4 million in sales which is pretty good if you consider we only have 6 full time employees and the two owners!!

Yeah normally I do all mine or as much as possible online. Makes things much easier, and mostly cheaper. Lately I've been out with friends and family for last minute stuff and it has been awful. But it sure looks like more people out there to me

it did seem kinda slow around here compared to usual. sure it was busier then just your normal day of shopping. i think i probably spent less then i ever did and got less then i ever did which is fine by me

We did over $2 million in the last week up to Christmas. Best the store has ever done since opening.
Also, we sold out of AR's and 5.56/.223, and that was with 2 trucks delivering during the week.
