 The Ramsey Show, weekday afternoons 1 to 4 on KRDO Newsradio. This is a Bloomberg Money Minute. People were shopping last month. While overall retail sales were flat in June, that was better than expected despite being lower than the three-tenths increase seen in May. Takeout autos and gasoline and other merchants saw their sales rise 0.8%, far better than the 0.2% forecast by economists in a Bloomberg survey.
