I ask this because just going in all th stores in my area they all seem so empty..Like yesterday normally walgreens always has alot of people in there,since its Sunday and not a work day for many people. However its not only walgreens I also noticed the emptiness in Target and Sears as well. I know these are hard financial times for people. So does anyone else notice their stores being empty as well. I always disliked shopping in the malls as we get closer to christmas because it always was so packed with people. However sadly I did not want it to be that hard for people to be able to do their normal christmas shopping..Peace.. Catherin
