Holiday shopping

I didn't do any shopping this holiday. The closest to shopping that I did probably was my trip to the local grocery store to get some baking stuff. With the throng of people I see on the news shopping I can imagine chaos if store don't use barcode scanners. I don't know how stores managed before the barcode scanner was invented. It was probably slow since cashiers had to enter the prices manually.

But anyways I heard on the news that there weren't too many great deals this year. But lo and behold that didn't dampen the shopping spirit of many people. They still went shopping for their family and friends.
