I went to the Fry’s in Austin a few nights ago and knew something was up when the parking lot only had 10 cars in it. Normally there’s 50+. Walking into the store was eerie - no one inside, no one in line. The shelves, especially in the computer section, were totally empty. Where they once had stacks of graphics cards, they had nothing. They had a couple desktops and a few high end monitors. The TV section was similar, a few high end big (75” and more) TV’s and empty shelves. When I asked an employee what happened they said the trade war in China. (Not believable cause Sony and Samsung are not Chinese) Kind of sad, it was always a fun 1-2 hours every time I went there.

- chiph 7y agoThat's pretty tragic. I built my gaming PC with parts I bought there about 2 years ago. I've since moved back to the east coast, and I miss being able to stop by after work and just browse, and pick up some unusual candy in the checkout lane.
