len_mullen Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I went to Staples today to pick up the Lenovo i5 desktop. To my surprise, there was a LOT of traffic. When I got to Staples, the parking lot was nearly full. I entered the store with two other people. Inside the store I had to wait to be served. This is very unusual at this Staples. When I finished, I headed over to Walmart to pick up an item I had ordered online. Again, the parking lot was nearly full. There were lines at every register and I had to wait behind someone putting stuff on layaway to get my pickup. This pre-thanksgiving activity was not caused by any major promotion as far as I know (and I know about these things). Are others seeing unusual levels of shopping this weekend?

racerfan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Staples is having a 15% off whatever can fit in a bag sale so that may account for it.

HansieDZ Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Traffic was up at the mall and every shopping center here this weekend too! It was warm and sunny and everybody and their dog was out. Weather is supposed to be extremely mild here for Thanksgiving/BF which means longer lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
