Against Quotes
I think it's basically the community banks, credit unions and independent banks are retaliating against ATM monopoly networks being set up by the huge mega-banks, especially in light of recent mergers.

Coming Quotes
It is a coming back down to earth. About two or three months ago, the world was swept up by the notion that the economic recession is over and the good times are rolling again.

Button Quotes
I think the one distinction is that the store experience at traditional retailers is designed around how consumers react when they walk in the store, ... How do you select a product off the shelf? The same thought has to work for consumers on the Internet. They can click one button and be gone.

Business Quotes

Average Quotes
Last year consumers on average spent $500 more for the year on gas. This year it could go up to $1,000. This is what Lee Scott is worried about.

Building Quotes
Large retailers and national computer manufacturers will typically look to point fingers at problems that are outside their control.

Advised Quotes
I see an extremely promotional shopping environment. I've advised my retail clients to be super aggressive Thanksgiving weekend.

Aspect Quotes
