I think you are right bro. I have noticed a slight drop in how busy shops are during the week with Fridays and Saturdays normally being a bit busier. But when it comes to mid week punting, shops seem to be quiet. Earlier in the week, I was in a 2 hour booking with a regular and only heard the door buzz once as I was in a room near the entrance. Personally for me, my punting has been business as usual but in terms of the cost of living, it most certainly has a impact on shops. One of the signs is that when I entered the shop, the girls were already walking out to do a line up which is normally not the case but maybe because the shop was quiet, they wanted my business despite already having a booking.
