| Ugh. My guess is there's only one sales person on the floor. |
Signs of the Christmas holiday have been present since before Halloween, but I really don't get in the mood until Thanksgiving approaches. As a former retail queen, Christmas after Labor Day is abhorrent to me, but since I watch retail from the sidelines these days, I do have an early interest in who will win the black belt of shopping this year - Black Friday vs.Cyber Monday. Will 2013 be the first year internet sales top brick and mortar sales during the holiest of shopping days - Black Friday weekend?
We all know why on line shopping beats store shopping. Where else can you score awesome deals and drink, smoke, eat, have your own clean bathroom nearby, yell at your kids, and talk to your sister on the phone all while visiting ten stores at basically the same time (depending on your computer skills). On-line shopping also protects us from some of the more nefarious store shopping cultures like rude shoppers, profiling, parking lot rage, snotty sales associate syndrome, crowds, lack of store stock, filthy bathrooms, long lines with no one to wait on you anyway, and trans fat only food court offerings. Not to mention that recently, for some unknown reason, malls have become a target for psychopaths.

| Victorian shopper's rage...Bitch stole my lace jabot! |
So, tell me, why would you subject yourself to a Victorian way of shopping? On line shopping is safe, secure, convenient and easy, not to mention a world-wide selection at your fingertips! Happy Cyber shopping!
