Reply to comment by SpaceObama in Black Friday online sales to hit new record by wander9077

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.

Honestly I thought Black Friday traditions would have had the stores crawling with people on Black Friday morning. Weird have times have pivoted

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.
