You should look close at teh shelves stores are good at fronting shelves to make them look full. Im in N GA and the stores around me are all low on everything! The clothes are summer clothes usually this time of the yr winter/fall clothes are all you can find. Walmarts locally are spreading out stuff more and more to conceal the downsizing. I even noticed homedepot doing the same.

Op where have you been there has been a shortage of laptops for months. Id highly advise you go back and get what they offered because it will only get worse. Try to find appliances they are all out of stock. Ive been trying to find a Blackstoone Griddle and no one has them even amazon is out.

ALso I stopped at two fast food restaurants this week only to find they are out of what I wanted.

Op you are lucky they even offered you another option. Costumer service is gone every one are just assholes these days.
