Sounds like customers are getting a better deal then they normally would have. Steep discounting, longer hours and earlier sales times, easier credit terms, free shipping, and extra services all sound like a win for consumers. Corporate profits have done pretty well the past few years, Seems like some of the bounty might be trickling down to the consumer. Now if we could just move enough goods to soak up excess capacity, we might have an economy again.
