so my state cuts almost everyone in the state(you have to live here a year and can't be a felon or on probation) a check every year. this year it is the highest ever, over $3200
today the first batch of direct deposits came out, meaning a 9 figure number of dollars was instantly pumped into the pockets of people who live near my store. I had a couple geniuses tell me "wow I picked the wrong day to shop". ya think? the Friday that 9 digits is pumped into our economy is not a good time to visit a big box retailer that does 9 digits in sales every year? probably $600k today? we had TVs flying off the shelves, blu ray players, you name it, I had 3 transactions in 4 hours top $1000 and most were in the $300-600 range when I was on a belted register(I moved to a secondary register later so the orders were smaller). we also had every register trained associate in the store on register for extended periods of time, do you expect anything other than the product on the shelves and you having to find it yourself unless you're in electronics or sporting goods? come back next weekend if you want service, we'll probably do over 1.5mil this weekend, we're struggling to get it on the shelves and not make you wait in line for half an hour
