My local store already has Christmas decorations out. I freaking hate it so much

It should be illegal before the beginning of December

October 5 ours went up at work. July 24 was when Halloween showed up. I’m convinced dropping sales has pressured them to chase the holiday high of old, and their layoffs and cut hours simply don’t save enough to recover normally.

In fact, their sales are probably dropping BECAUSE they're firing all of the people doing the selling and other work that facilitates selling.

Corporations reacting to a subpar quarter with mass layoffs is like a marathon runner reacting to a bad third mile by intentionally spraining their ankle.
