Consumers are not happy because of credit crunch, rising energy and food costs , housing slump so the good advice is stay away from malls in next quarter!. People are paying more in credit card interest rate, and more seeking for bankrupcy, rising energy cost killing us as consumer because we have to pay $120 more everymonth for energy!, I will not complain about housing slamp because housing slamp are high! very high! 26% less sale in housing since January 2008 price in housing market also dip drasticly 7 % from the beginig of the year so average housing price also drop
