Economy forecast: really lame freebies

Obviously the economy isn't doing so well right now, but who knew it was this bad?

















Stumbled upon this at Sears today. Signs all over the store and even one outside the front door.


Since when did "blowout" mean "giving you a token gift that is so trivial it borders on insulting"? Did somebody order too much pop for the employee party? Or are we seeing a pitiful example of corporate penny pinching? Just another retailer trying desperately to stay afloat while facing increasingly tepid consumerism?




Plus, I'd bet it's diet anyway.
