The drop of sales from "heating" issues should go away about the same time the "SUMMER slow down" starts, so wouldn't those two factors cross each other out and keep sales at a low point consistantly.
Also I thought the winter was better because more people are inside but how can it be better if they have to pay high heating bills?
I thought gas prices have been high for the last 3 years why would this be an issue now? I think actually right now they are still a little lower then when they were at an all time high 7 months ago.
The vast majority of people file before april 15th and i would say 9 out of 10 people get a refund check so how would this hurt things ?
If you guys believe that these issues affect your sales then you should also believe that since there are soo many of these factors out there you believe in that your sales would be low year round. there is ALWAYS something going on, if you only believe in these things when "your" sales are low then you are disproving your own theory.
