I am so ready for stores to go back to normal levels of traffic. I am tired of waiting everywhere I go. I even had an hour wait at the shop today to get an oil change.

Christmas is a bad time for getting anything done. But I seem to see lots of people in Walmart all year round! Every Saturday it's hard to get a parking spot there.
I can't stand going to Walmart during any time of the year, let alone Christmas. Target is usually more clean and the customers aren't as rude and pushy as I've come across in Walmart. If I do go there, it is always at the least busiest time. I went to the mall to get some food the day after Christmas and that was a mistake. It took me a half hour to find parking for a 5 minute trip inside.
I don't go to Walmart if I can help it either which is funny because it is the closest store to my house. I had no choice but to run a few errands during the crush of last minute shoppers or I wouldn't have been out either.
The holidays bring fun and patience! Most of our areas were okay but some of the large stores are still having issues. A friend is a manager at one and she said they are still hiring for seasonal work to keep up with everyone.
That's odd because they tend to let go of the excess people in January from my experience when I worked at a department store for a couple of years. Are sales really booming or something for them to still be hiring?
What with all the post Christmas sales, I imagine there may still be a few openings. But I'd be surprised if they lasted very long. Once late January hits, the credit card bills arrive and reality sets in.
I have had no problems lately with any stores. I went to the mall last week and was surprised at how few people were there. I love it when it's dead. I hate to wait!
