News this morning said that a lot of the big box stores make up to 50% of their gross over the holidays. Best Buy was high on that list. I laugh when I hear these companies talk about family values.. only for those in the corprate offices.. retail ppl have to work rather than be with their families. I remember when it was nigh impossible to get GAS on Thanksgiving much less buy anything else. That was the day of the Mom-n-Pop stores, not the corporate convenince 24/7-365/366 we could care less about you, just send us the deposits.
