shopping

Or, how to shop at a department store this week without later being stalked and killed in the parking lot by a disgruntled stock girl.

Anybody sick of Christmas yet? ::raises hand stridently::

Well, it's now two days after Thanksgiving, or as I like to call it "the day you can get the same deals everyone got yesterday, except maybe not in the color you wanted". Honestly, as I was going through fixing the sale signs at Macy's today, I was pretty sure some of the stuff was on even more of a discount today. I don't know, I set the Friday sale on Wednesday so my memory may be fuzzy.

Oh yes, it is that time of year already. Of course, it's been "that time of year" since roughly mid-October, according to our nation's desperate-to-break-even-despite-the-sucky-economy retailers. But today was the first day that I had difficulty not only parking at Walmart, but parking at the grocery store. I know, stupid me going shopping midday on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I know.
