Be CAREFUL OUT THERE this year, American shoppers:
"popular toys are already hard to find.... The empty shelves are just another sign of bad times"
I have been told for MONTHS by the Boston Globe business section that RECOVERY is HERE!!!!
WTF?!!!!!
"Can’t find hot new toy? Blame it on the poor economy" by Anne D’Innocenzio, Associated Press | November 10, 2009

NEW YORK - Robotic toy hamsters, the latest Barbie dolls, and stylish boots are disappearing from store shelves as holiday shoppers start to get serious....
The empty shelves are just another sign of bad times....
“I guess if you see it, you should get it,’’ said Martha Frey, who was surprised when she couldn’t find a specific style of boots in a popular size for her 17-year-old daughter recently at a Top Shop in Manhattan’s SoHo district.
Yeah, ENCOURAGE the IMPULSE BUYING, you agenda-pushing elitist!!!
I'm waiting to explain to my loved ones why they DID NOT get a gift this year, and WHY it is in the FORM of a DONATION to PALESTINIAN and AFGHAN CAUSE in their name!!!!
I can hear the kid crying now!
Shoppers are spending a little more these days, but they aren’t going on buying sprees.... The result, with seven weeks to go before Christmas, is that popular toys are already hard to find....
Seven weeks? I've got plenty of time.
