It's Really Not So Bad Out There
I just returned from Triangle Town Center and it&rsqou;s really nothing like the horror stories related in this piece (Parking: Manners turn to malice)
from the N&O this weekend. Today there are scads of parking spots and I encountered no lines, apart from the one at Starbuck’s, to speak of. Seems like the real panic buying days were Saturday and Sunday with something like sanity returning today.
That said, I didn’t encounter very many of the ultra deep discounts that some were predicting by this point in the Christmas sales cycle. Maybe merchants have moved enough stock already to feel like playing out the usual game of economic chicken until the very end.
