This past Saturday I was speaking with my brother's father-in-law who is an executive for Sak's in New York. He said he happened to be in Atlanta on a business trip when the blackout happened, but the report he got was that employees decided to just spend the night in the store rather than walk back home to sit in the darkness. The store had emergency generators to run the air conditioner system and the in-store cafe had to cook all of its food since the refrigerators were out, so it was a giant all-night party buffet at Sak's Fifth Avenue.
