O.k., I was in the grocery store today when a commerical came over the store's radio.
It said we should plan now for Christmas.
We're still a good two plus weeks away from Easter, and they're already bombarding us with Christmas ads.
Maybe it's just me, but I like to take my holidays in the month that they actually occur.
Are times really so bad that retailers have to start the Christmas hype now?
If this trend continues, they'll be hyping Christmas 2009 by the time Christmas 2007 rolls around.
Even worse, when I asked the clerk if things were that bad for the store, this was her response:
When I informed her that I was not talking about the change she gave me, she stated that if I persisted upon accusing her of short-changing me, she would call security. I left that place shaking my head.
