I was in a large Walmart supercenter last night, just two weeks before Christmas. There were only two cashier lanes open with only about three people in line to checkout at any given time. I have never seen it so slow there at any time during the year let alone for Christmas. I think this may go down as one of the lousiest Christmas sales periods EVER.

Yesterday, I was at a Target in a typically busy Christmas season shopping center. Out of about 20 registers only 6 were open. One was empty and I breezed on through after paying.

Upon getting home, one set of Christmas lights (LEDs) was not the right color. I went back to Customer Service (no wait), got the right ones, purchased them and breezed out again in 5 minutes.

Your right. The Grinch (O) probably stole Christmas here as well.
