Funny thing is that they were offering the TV online for that price, but advertising in-store at $379. So I got them to match the online price and walked out with a set that day, rather than waiting for one to ship. I dunno, something about instant gratification.

We broke down the top tvs to get if you are a sports fan and it made the top 4. The #1 is $99k so probably out of most people’s price range :)

Rather than shutting down and reopening, they went basically 24/7 to keep things flowing smoothly.

Sorry that you couldn’t find your TV, but now you have a story to tell for generations to come.

You: When I was young, I wanted to buy a TV at Walmart…

Grandkids: Grandpa we’ve heard this story before!
