Anonymous Coward User ID: 79087889 India 06/29/2020 04:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most retailers are preparing to go out of business. They are self-liquidating because cost and they know they only have a narrow "re-open" window to do it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72337722 And... Because the big liquidator companies are overwhelmed and can't move the product to other retailers because there are no other retailers now. They can't even load it and ship it to dump it in Africa or South America. So this is why. That's exactly what is happening at Ross. I was in one yesterday to buy some sheets and at least half the shelves were empty. All the shelves for sheets were empty. So I went to another Ross. Same scene. With nothing even on the shelves to sell, how can they survive even another month? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18993956 United States 06/29/2020 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yup. Brand new Ross in our town was nearly empty after first shutdown. Also I noticed the one year old Hobby Lobby here has ALL their seasonal shit out, from every season. I was guessing they’re also going to close down. There go some jobs... that locals didn’t have for very long. And I forgot, our JCP is going out of business too. Before these stores came all there was were thrift stores. So back to square one... thrift stores + Walmart. |

With nothing even on the shelves to sell, how can they survive even another month? I've been wondering how much of the shortages in inventory are due to problems with the freight industry and the supply line originally plugged up due to the shutdown of China. Even problems with staffing in stores due to Covid-19. Domino Effect. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 66099637 United States 06/29/2020 07:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've noticed this as well. Wife needs a new car and we visited several dealerships over the weekend and none of them have any inventory. I'm talking literally NO new cars and none on the way anytime soon. Then, I took a trip to Walmart through a small town about 10 miles from my home. I rarely go that way, but noticed almost all of the stores (local small mom/pop) were all closed down. Store names were taken off the buildings and it looked like a ghost town. Wierd I thought. Then wife and I went to the Mall of Ga. and I noticed only about half the retailers were open and all of them were had limited inventory... everything seemed picked over. Several restaurants that were doing fine before covid were out of business. So I'm starting to think the OP is right. The supply chain is drying up, but it's not being talked about because it would cause a panic. |

All bicycles are gone and so are the pools and if you do find them online, they are quadruple in price. I bought a huge above ground pool in April, because we were emptying ours and a windstorm killed it. I paid under 700 for it. Looked online this weekend for sister, and the one I bought was listed on Amazon for $2880. We have to make our own stuff.

User ID: 77763487 United Kingdom 06/29/2020 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Were i live in my town they built a massive supermarket in 2002 At that peak time there was a large section of DVDS, Videos, games for playstation etc, and also a large section for laptops and tvs. At that boom time people used to do a months shopping on pay day, and trolleys were filled. Not so much the case now as customers tend to just get a few things, and shop more regularly for special offers. I have thought for a long time they would close it and move to a smaller premises, especially as this depression hits, people are just gonna get bits and shop around for bargains. Also because it is a large store stealing was rife, and the heating and lighting as got to cost a lot. Since the lockdown, items just look spaced out, either they haven't got the stock, or it would just take thousands upon thousands of pounds to fill it, with stuff that may not sell or as a shelf life. That's my take on it x Better to live for today, than wait for a day that never comes. |
