Speaker 2: It's a chilly day today. Hi's only reaching about fourty
Speaker 2: six degrees with a breeze as well. We will see

Speaker 2: The big question is is the time honored bargain hunting
Speaker 2: tradition fading away?
Speaker 1: Doorbusters of course, what they call the big Black Friday deals,
Speaker 1: evoking images of huge and rowdy crowds waiting outside when
Speaker 1: stores open up. But the early birds who came to
Speaker 1: a major box store in PEVD before sunrise found they
Speaker 1: had plenty of elbow room.
Speaker 2: It's much easier getting in, but there's less deals. I
Speaker 2: thought it would be more hectic, not as chaotic. This
Speaker 2: yeus seems barren that.
Speaker 1: Last chopper came out with a full carts, but says
Speaker 1: he's still disappointed with this year's Black Friday experience.

Speaker 2: usually and the majority of the stuff theysually have on
Speaker 2: sale at nod.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that big retailer cars at the
Speaker 1: parking lot of a major mall nearby were similarly sparse.
