We go back to normal operating hours next week except for the day after Christmas. Woo-hoo!
Every year, like clockwork, these extended hours bring us a lot of waiting around for customers to appear out of thin air. I venture to say that staying open later only works for a handful of Sears (and Kmarts) throughout the whole company. Those stores are usually located in bigger cities where staying open late works. For the rest of us--for those of us in the suburbs or in smaller communities, it's reliably dead every night every single year. Don't they get it?
It's especially irritating for those of us on commission.
