Remember when gas was over $4? People started driving less. They started carpooling. They became addicted to the Hybrid cards. They started taking the bus. People were conscious. People knew that
depending on oil was dictating their lives. People changed their behaviors and were content and happy.  I can say this was true up until a couple of weeks ago, when gas prices were still hovering around $3.50.

When I started the average number of customers at peak times were about 25 people. Currently, we rarely have more than 5 customers in the whole store at the same time.

Yesterday, I received a text from Apple, stating:
