I was at the Best Buy in Bellevue today in search of a cable connector thing and have to tell you that after having difficulty trying to find a place to park, I’m not sure there is much economic slow down in my backyard. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one or it isn’t coming, but I really couldn’t believe the number of cars and people not to mention the same thing going on at its big box cousin next door – The Home Depot. Of course, I couldn’t tell if folks were shopping with cash or credit…
Maybe so, but see this article in today’s NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/02/business/02jobs.html?ex=1362200400&en=88034792dc47f58c&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
I think you may find belts getting tighter. Though you make a good point re: cash v. credit.
