I went to EB for the continuing used last gen clearance (now doing buy 4, save 30%, plus stacks with Edge). They had a clerk managing the door limiting people going in and a line to get in, it was still packed inside. Few people were there for deals, it was mainly just family's with kids blowing their Christmas money.
As someone who works retail I hope that this trend continues. I would love to be able to spend more time with my family around Christmas and not have to work a 12 hour shift

If this trend continues, you may not have a job in retail anymore.
I remember stores being more packed before Black Friday events started in Canada. Now it seems that Boxing Day sales will die off as retailers can't afford to host two events one after the other.
Not sure what revenue was at work on Black Friday since I was off, but I know we hit 1.3 million on Boxing Day, a little under the target of our projected 1.5 million, but the all-day ice/rain/snow storm played a huge part. We ended up smashing the goal on the 27th though to make up for it.
