Catastrophe today right here in Duke City/Albuquerque! My sons tv went out so I ran up to

[abqtommy]

our local WalMart but they didn't have any tvs for sale at all. The clerk I talked to said that everybody's
buying tvs due to the quarantine but I shot that idea down.

Fortunately we're filthy with WalMarts here (sure, we're filthy without them too... The Three Stooges) So I visited 2 other WalMarts and a Target and finally wound up buying a 32"
Hisense-Roku tv listed at 115 bucks. I also bought a 2-year service plan so total out the door was
132 bucks, a pretty cheap price to pay to maintain harmony in our household.

My son runs his tv and puter 24/7 and since he outweighs me I try real hard to keep him happy. He's
a happy camper today, for sure!

May all of my catastrophes be no worse than this and I wish all of you the same.

2. "A flock of geese," "a pride of lions," "a filth of Walmarts."

I like it.

3. Just curious. Why didn't HE go out and replace his TV?

Very nice of you, and that’s a good price. Just wondering why he couldn’t do it.

7. Oh ffs, why go there?

🙄 Nice story, happy ending, op obviously cool with how things went down. You needed to throw shade on the son? None of your business why they handled it the way they did.

4. Curious, where are you? I haven't been in any stores except

local grocery since the first of March. Didn't think stores were open.

Duh: just read where you're at in your title!

5. Target, Costco, Wal-Marts

all open since they sell groceries.

8. And they have pharmacies.

6. Confucius say "Grasshopper who answer own question is very wise"... here where I live

any business that sells groceries or gas ( and some others I suppose) can be open.

9. My $30 Roku is the best buy I've made in a long while.

Interface is far superior to the ones on my other internet ready viewing devices.

I see their stock is doing very well in this pandemic.

10. We have 2 Walmarts in our town

Both very low on TVs in stock. People are buying them with their stimulus checks.
