I got 8 new customers for my pet food over the weekend!

That's the best I've done in a long, long time! 8 new customers in 12 hours plus 3 old customers. We have a line of shampoo, also sold 3 bottles of dog shampoo and 1 of cat foam. A few people bought cans of cat food, pretty much on their own. People looked at lots of things and didn't buy this past weekend. I think if the ecomony was better or at least the price of gas, they would have bought. So how are you doing at making money for yourself or your employer? Have the economy or gas prices hurt your business or income? Most people know that my hours have been cut from 20 to 16 and then to 12. My strong showing at the end of the month, helped me to not get cut again, but I wonder for how long. My boss was talking about cutting me to 10 or 8 hours. The company my husband is working for is doing better. He works building mass transit subway cars. Most cities are ordering more cars because they can't handle the increase in commuters or their old cars are being run so much more, they're guarantee for so many thousands of miles is running out sooner. The city he works in just got a new company in for mass transit buses. So some sectors of our area are improving. Some are getting worse. Do you see some areas of business doing better and some doing worse in your area? Which ones and why do you think that is so?
