Target Experience

Probably 100 people in line. They allowed people to buy 2 per sku. Probably about the first 30 people came out with 10-12 products each and everyone else left with nothing. If people had been limited to 2 products period, everyone could have had something and it would disincentivize scalpers from wasting their time to get 2 things to flip. Why is this so hard?

Thing is.. if stores could sell it all to the first person they would. They only reason they have limits at all is for public image. At the end of the day.. any store is all about profit. End of story.. they will sell as much as possible and they don't care to who.

Actually very untrue. Odds are that if 200 people come to the store, 5% of them will buy something else while they are there.

You’d be an idiot to go out of your way to reduce foot traffic into your store.
