Still that last minute rush could not save stores from double-digit sales declines across virtually every category All the negative sales figures given here are less than ten percent. Adding a decimal does not make a figure double-digit. And declines reported from "credit card date" are probably higher because fewer people are able or willing to load up their credit cards this year and are instead paying with debit or cash.

You come to NY to go shopping!???? Cry me a river. Retailers make plenty of profits from their overprice goods to begin with. 90% off is more like 10%, when they follow the retail price.

"Doorbuster" ??? Lovely choice of words considering the tragic Wal-Mart stampede.
