just couldn't believe that. Now calm down, I'm not saying folks don't need a break after a week of busy holiday sales and busy days, but really, there is something called a RETAIL REALITY. That is - the day afer Christmas is a brisk retail day. If you want to be in retail, accept the reality.
Its possible they did not want to be available to the public who may be first-time train purchasers calling the day after with questions, for example, like "My train doesn't run" because the wires to the lock on are not attached. It takes a lot of effort to answer questions from the public. Sometimes, the shop just has to be unavailable.
Some time ago, I went to the Ready to Roll shop in southern FL the day after Christmas, expecting the store to be open. It was not. They were closed for the week, according to a sign. My first thought was they need a break and did not want to address questions about running trains, which I presumed would arise from first-time buyers.
On the other hand, I went there with money and naturally did not buy anything.
Best, Mark
