Introduction
It is December 23rd and the malls are filled with last minute Christmas shoppers. The shoppers may ask themselves where they are going to shop. Should or shouldn’t they go to their usual department store? The lines are treacherous, and time is definitely an issue the day before Christmas Eve. These last minute shoppers may decide to shop at an easy to access kiosk. From November-December, kiosks earn 80% of their annual profit. Kiosk shopping allows last minute holiday shoppers to buy the gifts they need.
