I'm wondering how the economy is doing

Working at my seasonal retail job yesterday, I was surprised that it wasn't THAT busy. I mean, it was busy, high volume of sales and everything, but it wasn't insanely busy for the whole day.

I talked with a friend today. She told me that she went to Wal-Mart at seven this morning, the second morning of the busy shopping season, and it was dead.

I guess we'll have to wait until monday to see the weekend sales numbers. I'm suspecting that they won't be that great.
