[QUOTE="35years, post: 1950294, member: 60822"] Rolling stops every day here. Snowball effect will ensure that we will not dig out till at least 1 week from today. But I don't see volume dropping off enough to let us dig out. The new reality is that people under 40 shop online, not in stores. Even some old guys like me do all their shopping online. Cyber Monday/Black Friday is just part of the overall trend towards direct to consumer shipping. I hope UPS will be able to come up with a plan in the future that deals with the need for surge staffing. I wish they would stop threatening Holiday surcharges, and implement them! Supply and demand applies to service companies too. We could make Wall Street happy (higher margins) and control volume/service if we did. [/QUOTE]
