Yeah, but the reason your Walmart had reasonable lines is because of online shopping.

I know quite a few families that do the order online, pick up in store method. My local Walmart even loads it into your car, you just pull up to a spot. They do all their shopping this way.

I work for walmart and most of the black Friday stuff ( tvs & ps5s) were gone on walmart+ online with pickup on Tue or Wed. There's was like 80 total people in the store through 6am to 10am, it was dead.

Its a perfect storm of pandemic, inflation, and lack of exciting products. There's nothing that exciting to buy. For example I have a PC and I guess I'd like a few upgrades, but I'm not paying $1500 for a graphics card. Alot of things are nearly double the price they were in 2019 and its dumb. I'd argue fake inflation, since people are getting wise to this crap and opting to wait or just live with what they currently have.
