Empty Costco

[kewp]

I go about every other Wednesday around two pm (to beat the crowds) and its been noticeably deserted. Only a few registers open with little if any wait.

I love Costco btw, its kinda the 80/20 rule as a shopping experience. Plus they have a great return policy.

I can: Use your credit cards, after you home ATM is gone……….

I went to Costco last night and stood in line for about 10-mins before I could check out because it was so crowded. Then i went to a Saturn Dealer and didn’t see a soul. Then I went to Denny’s and everyone was eating, then I went to an open house and no one was around. when driving through the parking lot near a wal-mart, I saw a lot of crap in a lot of different shopping carts and everything in the carts said “made in China”, I say a short sale sign..

What could this mean?

Telling the American consumer to stop spending is like telling a junkie to quit doing heroin.

We have been conditioned to spend, and a little recession (or depression) ain’t gonna stop us.

People will literally have to see the money (or credit) spigot shut off before they will stop spending.

I suppose you could start teaching finance and economics in grade school…when they’re 5 years old, or as soon as they learn to count. Some adults…just never get it.

“I think consumer spending is hanging in there. I can’t explain why.”

Simple, because the vast majority of consumers have jobs. Until that changes, they’ll keep on spending. Perhaps the housing recession will lead to an economic recession and people will begin to lose their jobs. Until then, I highly doubt people will stop spending.
