Retail therapy is alive and well in Atlanta, GA
October 4th, 2008
I have news for you. There isn’t a bad economy.
At least that’s my assessment after my day at the mall.
If you read my earlier post, I had to go to the Apple store to get two iPhones fixed. There was a 2 hour wait to get to talk to a tech. The store was full of people shopping for expensive, exotic hardware from iPhones to super-thin laptops to iPods and more. There was hardly anything in the store less than $300 and the most people were around the $2,000 laptops.
They made me turn my McCain t-shirt inside out to avoid a scene. I just made that last sentence up.
The rest of the story though is real.
The place was mobbed.
The parking lot was full, there was a fairly long line for Annie’s Pretzels of all things in the food court.
People were spending money left and right.
Now I’m not sure that retail therapy is healthy for anyone’s bank account. I’m not exactly Dave Ramsey. All I wanted to do with this post is make the observation that retail therapy is alive and well in Atlanta, Georgia.
At least for this day, I watched thousands of people having a good time.
