The Gorko spoke to dozens of local shoppers this past weekend about the prospect of summer sales coming to a close this month. To our surprise, many shoppers expressed ‘acute, existential horror’ at the situation. Here are some of their words.

DONALD, 47
I haven’t even found any good polos yet. My polo game is in a bad situation. This is not good, not good.
MARISSA, 32
