Did anyone go to the mall today?

It was fucking ridiculous!

I work in a retail candle store. We made over $18,000 in 12 hours. :-|

Holy crap!

I went to the Galleria with my sis. It was shockingly normal until about 2 pm.

I went Thursday afternoon and it was packed. I went to TJ Maxx today and it wasn't too bad. I went to Kroger and other than being sold out of a bunch of stuff, it was pretty dead.

holy shit. what was the goal? are you open tomorrow too?

Goal was $5,000. It started out a little slow I think because people were in church, but around 2pm it got slammed and we had a line weaving through the store for the rest of the night.

This is why I do Black Friday. In and out in 3 hours and it's all finished. I avoid malls like the plague until after New Years.

I just left the zoo that is our local mall...with two girls under 10 who wanted to Christmas shop. Fun times.

I went and it was horribly packed! Ugh, never again I will go to the mall around this time again.

It was oddly calm when I went to a popular shopping center. Normal Sunday traffic and hardly any shoppers.

I live in a condo in an urban area, down the street from a high end mall.

Confession: I'm going to walk over there tomorrow just to watch the frustrated shoppers, especially the ones in the toy stores.

[aprilludgate]

No, I did not. But the whole time I was growing up, my dad and I did all of our shopping for my mom on the day before Christmas Eve. It was always a crazy experience. He still went today.

I know right?

People around here are serious about some fucking candles. Like, their day is RUINED if we don't have their specific scent in stock.

I bet! I saw a hand lotion related rage incident the other day at the mall. Scents are VERY SERIOUS!

Yes, parking was a nightmare.
