For past decade, I am not doing any shopping (At least
visiting the physical store.)
If required, I am purchasing via online. However this year, I decided to give some experience
to the kids. (Now they are in high/middle School) & they need laptops. SO I
felt, this is the right time. Basically they
are curious about one days record sales.
On thank giving day, I purchased couple
of laptop from frys.com and for pickup, we went to store. I will write one more post on frys.com ( how
not to do e-commerce in today's world) however coming to main topic, on Fridays stores
are opened at 6AM. We reached the store around 10.15 AM. Parking is mess. Based
on my past experience, I told wife & kids to pick whatever you want come to
line. I went directly checkout line. This is long. After sting 90 minutes in
the line, I reached, cash register. ( in between, family wrapped, their pick
& joined me. Absolute shocking thing
is my online order is not ready. Cashier took,
my order number and went on picking items for next 40 minutes. After spending
40 minutes, he came back and said one of my laptop is out of stock. Finally
we are out of the store around 12.15… My kids first feedback it, let’s avoid Black Friday shopping & in particular Frys. Let’s go to lunch.
