“We’re Christmas shopping. We are picking up last minute items that we need and my husband is Christmas shopping for me because he works for UPS, and this is his only chance,” said shopper Stephanie Barnes. “I think there’s definitely some sales that they put on right before Christmas, so it is beneficial.”
Most shoppers were picking up gifts for loved ones, with many admitting they wait until the last minute every year.
“I am shopping for my girlfriend, mom, and little sister. I bought them shoes and I know it’s last minute, but I do that every year,” shopper Brayden Covington said. “It brings fun and to see the last-minute deals you can find.”
