Most of consumers, if the economic recession thesis holds, are strapped for cash yet still need the basic goods. The way to play it is the processing of the transactions, Visa and Mastercard. The retailers just pass the transaction cost along. For example all NJ gas stations are now building into the price of gas the cost of running the credit cards (6 -9cents). Those are the companies (V & MA) that make out, not the retailers. I think the main focus on the retailers isn’t where people are buying, its how they are making the purchases.
