I know a huge portion of that is what Walmart calls "Blitz Day" - which is the day after Thanksgiving, where you can get 1000" Plasma TV for 69.95, and so people load up on deals at 4:30am and put them all on layaway so they'll still be there when they actually have the $$ for them.
Oh, and I just thought of another one: I put a crib on layaway because it was the last one they had, and it wouldn't fit into my Chevy Aveo...so I put it on layaway, and paid for 90% of it, and my dad came back the next day with his truck and picked it up. Not a compelling reason to keep Layaway alive, but a semi-amusing story.
