Reply to comment by ElderberryExternal99 in Anyone else make the mistake of going to American Dream today? by brantlyr

Yup! As someone who worked in retail for 10+ years (and actually enjoyed it!) I can tell you that the only day that came close to breaking me was always the day after Christmas. Christmas Eve and Black Friday were easy and fun, nothing compared to Dec 26.

Better description should be gift card shoppers but bored shoppers too since it’s a holiday for some

True. Are you in NJ and by that American Dream Mall ?

I’ve never been there and it is basically brand new - some of this case may be the weather and that it’s usually not a crowded place (I think) plus NYC Christmas tourism, but the comment you asked is from someone who worked elsewhere so my comment is more generic for why it’s a busy shopping day
