agree Justinec... Im in the restaurant industry and we've seen a slow down over the past two years!!! I guess I could of said I felt this coming, but not this bad, it's scary. I think people will start coming out though next year seems like stability will come back soon, but they say it gets worse before better. I'm optimistic a little I think were at about at rock bottom LOL... If that's optimizim??
Seeing how im in Florida and it's such a tourist state we all thought it was the gas prices that seemed to start the slow down, which is some-what reasonable... but now theres a squeeze on whole entire industries...auto...food...housing etc... the price of food has gone up somewhat with the price of gas, a little too fast and somewhat ridiculous... only bad part it's not really coming back down...
