Rich Z is absolutely correct. I work for a large corporation (Wal-Mart is one of our customers) and sales have been down or flat the entire year. In an attempt to induce consumers to spend money, many retail stores are starting the X-mas selling season early. Unfortunately, Wal-Mart, Circuit City and Best Buy (The big three) have conditioned the average consumer to wait until an item is on sale before buying. These "Super Stores" have done more harm, than good, to the US economy.
