Mrs. Strac and three friends just returned from two hours of retail therapy. In most years, the stores at all the local malls would be overflowing with merchandise this weekend. Today, they were full of shoppers, but almost empty of items to purchase. The shelves were actually bare in many departments.
Mrs. Strac questioned a number of managers and received the same reply from each. They all reported they had been overflowing with merchandise on Friday, but as soon as the stores opened, they were inundated with record numbers of purchasers. These were not just “tire-kickers” but actual buyers. In addition, they were not just searching for low-cost bargains, but shoppers flooded the jewelry, designer and other high-priced, high-profit departments.
All the managers reported purchasers bought quickly, and with what they all described as “a renewed confidence.” A few even went so far as to say the buying spree didn’t begin last week, but they had seen a steady uptick in total sales, dollar amount of average sale and customer confidence ever since Thursday of election week.
One said, “It took a day for the consumer confidence to kick in, but when it did, it hasn’t abated.”
Americans are voting again this weekend. They are voting for American Exceptionalism with a voice and volume unheard since Reagan.
The bottom line; Trump will be good for America, and America knows it.
Well, a good manager wouldn’t tell you that his stock levels are low because the store wasn’t given enough inventory and/or they can’t afford people to stock the shelves.
Let’s wait for sales figs, margin info, and inventory levels.
Hopefully sales and margins will be good.
When I want to know what is really happening i go to freerepublic.
I didn't make it up . I found that info on here. so you are bashing freerepublic not me.
I”m sure a lot of people come here to see what is really going on . I do.
A lot of freepers correctly said that Soros is behind these recounts and that's illegal . I Haven't heard that too many other places not even Drudge .
THEY DON’T NEED FOR YOU, ME OR ANYONE ELSE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO OR SUPPOSE ON WHAT THEY ARE, OR ARE NOT, DOING.
Get it?
Go away moron. Go harrass someone else.
Why do you think they are not sending lawyers there?
That is not what I said. We should forward all the info we have. But we don’t need to freak out over it.
And what, may I ask, were you doing in a Target store? LOL
Not MY choice....I do what I am told some days.
That’s a good story. Told to people who have no clue.
"Soros and Hillary are reversing it doing a coup in MI, WI, PA and no one seems to be doing anything about as in sending lawyers to those states to contest these stupid recounts funded by Soros and Hillary."
I'd wager that's the source of your getting bashed. What makes you believe no one is doing anything about it?
Better be careful, the force is not strong with this one.
Adding the “Trump isn’t doing anything” adds nothing to the discussion.
By all means, let’s bring up Soros et al. It’s the visual of hand wringing that get’s to me sometimes. If Trump’s camp can’t handle this, we voted for the wrong guy.
