grocery store- getting some stuff for dinner. place was deserted. checkers standing around.

gamestop- bought the kids a nintendo ds for xmas, stopped in to look at used games. i was there for 40 minutes, i was the only person in the store.
The Ace Hardware being deserted is strange - today and today only Ace has a 50% off coupon for anything in the store! I would have imagined that Ace would be busy today! As a matter of fact, that's where I'm heading in a few hours to see if I can snag a deal. I frequent my local gamestop all the time, many times they're empty and many times they're full. I haven't yet upgraded my daughter to a DS, she still plays her old Game Boy Advance SP, and she loves it.
