Does anyone else miss the old days of Layaways at stores? They always had a section located normally in the back of the store next to the bathrooms. You could put 10% of the price and they would hold the item for you until you paid it off. I used this a lot as a kid, and there was nothing like coming in with your last payment and paying it off. I know families used it around Christmas time quite a bit as well. Anyone else remember doing it?
 
I remember. But now it's easier to take on debt at 29.99% interest. That and people don't like to wait for anything any more. Instant gratification is the norm.
