Checked out the Local Bakers Shoes at a Mall in California
At 11AM there were 4 people inside.
2 ladies..customers
1 child trying on shoes
1 baby

The mall was super busy. Ebay has been very slow the last week. Yardsales did not have any people looking. My take is this month August people are returning to the malls in great force to get new things. Also 14 states in August have "tax free days"

Store was in emaculate condition. But did not see the salesperson helping customers...I only watched however for about 30 seconds.

They say there is high unemployment in this city...but it always is high in this city. But by looking at the local mall, one would think we were in the best of times. Tremendous amount of people there this saturday.
