This means demand is unprecedented, we are talking economic boom, but suppliers have not yet ramped up production sufficiently due to such a downturn from a few years ago. It's also because of JIT inventory, it reverberates through the entire delivery process before and after manufacture of goods. Blame the bean counters.
Electronics dept., that's understandable, the prices are dropping fast on all that crap, people buy it cheaper online from Amazon. Walmart can't compete forever, not while big box stores (copying the Walmart method) are popping up all over the place.
It's just your typical race to the bottom..

So funny the bad sales are affecting their supply chain to where you see empty shelves. That just implies their shoppers just buy basics and not luxuries. This paints a recession...I mean they have the best inventory turn over and logistics chain than any company and yet their sales are hurting them badly..
