Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst with NPD Group, said his own weekend spot checks indicated that traffic was on par with last year’s levels. “But it was also very evident that purchases were down, both in dollar transactions and the number of bags people were carrying,” he said.
Seems that anaylists noted the same things Piggs did, and in the same ways.

ParticipantYeah your right? My wife took back the designer named pants I bought at Macy’s my oldest son at $45 dollars because she found similar pants for $19.00 at Target. (She said we needed to cut back!)
We’ll she came back from Macy returning the $45 pants then turning around and buying three pairs of pants, sweatshirt, wallet(?), earrings, socks for a total of $150ish…what recession?December 22, 2008 at 11:19 AM #319262ParticipantYeah your right?

ParticipantI’m helping a friend fill a web developer position. I had few interviews last week. The final three candidates are all willing to go from ~$100K to mid-sixties with 50/50 medical, dental and vision, no 401k and ‘tech guy’ title.
On the flip side, I received $10off when you spend $10 or more @ JCPenney in the mail last week. They know how to get my attention.
