But guess who did pretty well:
"Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says November same-store sales rose 3.4 percent, as consumers shopped more ahead of the holidays as gas prices dropped. Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least one year, rose 3.4 percent at Wal-Mart stores and 3.5 percent at its Sam's Club warehouse division. Including fuel, same-store sales rose 3 percent."
Our liberal and progressive friends won't like this...
