Anonymous Coward User ID: 84114279 United States 11/25/2022 08:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79077737 How about this, from yahoo: Reuters Thin Black Friday crowds mark U.S. holiday shopping kickoff Arriana McLymore and Doyinsola Oladipo Fri, November 25, 2022, 4:05 AM By Arriana McLymore and Doyinsola Oladipo (Reuters) - Thin crowds of inflation-weary consumers hunted for Black Friday deals at stores in big cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other locales, marking the start of a U.S. holiday shopping season crucial to retailers in an uncertain economy. Many shoppers who opened their wallets said their purchases were strategic, not impulsive or splurges. "We've been waiting" for discounts, said Tulio Rose, 28, who picked up a big-screen TV at a Best Buy store in Los Angeles, while shopping with Barnisha Nill, 35. They saved about $500 on the 85-inch (2.16-meter) Samsung TV for their new apartment. About 166 million people were planning to shop from Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday through this coming "Cyber Monday," according to the National Retail Federation, almost 8 million more than last year. But with sporadic rain in some parts of the country, stores were less busy than usual on Black Friday. [link to finance.yahoo.com (secure)] |

I didn't really see people looking at the sale stuff, just doing normal shopping. Quoting: Val Wiggin Only thing I'm bothered by is this is supposed to be our busy time of year for our small business and it's not happening. People just aren't buying stuff. It is probably online sales now. |

No one out shopping at 7am at stores harbor fright, academy sports, lowes, home depot and walmart all more or less empty. I asked the walmart employees and they had no idea they were expecting to be over run. Walmart even had sheriff deputies outside and didnt even need them. Deputies were very bored. Quoting: panamaJJJ I have never seen it like this on Black friday. The last couple of years people have shopped online because of covid so got use to it. Now many dint have much money. Who really needs more stuff? |

This year ALL the stores have the same duplicate crap. Really, I don't see anything that I want to buy this year at all. It's become too boring. I'm out. |

I get near there 1.5 hours after they open. The 4 lane I go on is usually backed up for a few miles & all the local roads are choked. Watched google maps traffic on the way home. Planned to jump off and circle around to get home. Nothing, Nada, Zip Only light traffic, like a Saturday morning. A few more cars than normal on the local roads. No sign of ANY traffic heading to the mall. ShopPocalypse Up and Died RIP 2022 . "Don't do anything that affects anything.
