That time of year

The holidays mean fun and break time for most people. But not for me. Working retail all it means is more hours at work and trying to finish exams so that is one thing less on my plate. But this year things are different. The traffic in retail stores nationwide is down, and people are just not spending the money they normally do. The media is blowing things out of proportion as they are meant to do, but it is affecting more people than anticipated. Gas prices are on the move again, but this time in a positive direction! Positive for us, at least. With all that money in people’s pockets I wonder why no one is spending? I gather that people still don’t have the money they did last year, but they have enough to do their christmas shopping. They just want their dollar to go that extra mile this year so they don’t have to break the bank. People are waiting for a good deal, but buyers are out there and waiting. So stores, put up those sale signs!
