LOL. There wasn’t an open space anywhere this morning at my local Wal-Mart. Then again, we also have no mall near me either. Closest one is 30 mins away. Some poor guy, working at a Wal-Mart on Long Island, was trampled to death this morning. ---

> [@Jammer](#): > > Know something we dont? Meet expectations? lol yes. Amsterdam Wal-Mart was at $560,000 come 8:00pm. Highest black friday total they’ve ever had and beat last years numbers which were $507,000. Gloversville Wal-Mart was at $559,000 by 9:00pm. Yet again, highest black friday total ever for that store. Last years sales were \*\*$471,000. Both D1 stores. ---

> [@Jammer](#): > > Thats great news!! Glad to have the info. All I had to go by was Glenville at 1 pm. Dead. Yea because its 1pm. All the business comes in from 5-11am. The reason you have cashiers standing around at 1:00pm is because they schedule enough cashiers where every single register has an associate. So with all the registers filled without the traffic flow of your 5-11am crowd its going to seem like cashiers are standing around. ---

Target in Amsterdam was absolutely _dead_ though. I figure the average number of black friday shoplifters were up, but the average dollar amount per shopper was down. People have less money but theyre just not going to buy christmas gifts, so those people in past years who figure the black friday savings are just not worth the hassle decided to take the chance this year. Our store sends employees out and counts the number of people waiting lol. Prior years the most in line were 1700… this year we had over 3000 waiting outside. ;x ---
