Economy and shopping in SD

[lifeisgood]

Just thought it was interesting to talk about no matter how bad the job market and economy gets in San Diego, I’ve never seen a decline shoppers at the malls and other various stores. Is it because San Diegans are dependent on their image or because more people have jobs than we think. It’s amazing to me how packed the shopping malls are on the weekends. You would think that there is nothing wrong around here. What do you think?

I don’t think your average shopper has a clue on what’s going on with the credit downgrade.

I live in Carlsbad and stop by the outlets off Palomar along the I-5 every so often. It is always jam-packed around there during weekends. No parking available at all. Only time to go shopping there is right before closing on a weekday. I haven’t really seen people buckle down from the economy slow down in general.

Maybe those people are walking around the mall window shopping for entertainment and spending an occasional $40 – $50. Whereas when the economy is going well, they are working at their job, ordering $100 worth of stuff from Amazon three times a week, and spending the weekends in the Wine Country or doing other weekend trips.

Maybe they are spending a few hundred bucks at Restoration Hardware on knobs for their kitchen cabinet, instead of a full-up $100K top shelf kitchen remodel.

What’s missing in the perception of observing more shoppers in the mall is the consideration of what they might have been or would like to be doing/spending in a better economy.
