Both frys in northern California (Sacramento and Roseville) are nearing empty.. very depressing. This was my goto place every week. Two months ago I saw a shelf full of latest modems and gaming routers. Now all empty as if they resold them back. Sacramento had only a handful of cat 6 cables. Roseville only a few cat 7 at $30 each. Fortunately i built my 9900k system with 2880ti in April when they had stock and everything I needed using all 20% off coupons

Those 20% off coupons were a brain-dead move by the owners to draw in customers. They profit about $80 on that ti you got for around $160 off and the processor would have been even worse, meaning they sold you everything at a very large loss. Not just you though, before they realized how dumb it was to give out blanket 20% off coupons at an electronics store where a good portion of the items make no profit tons of people made off with merchandise that Frys helped them pay for at a loss. Imagine getting a nice fridge before they changed the restrictions.
Its just one example of many of how the owner “helped” the stores get to the point they are today. If I told you they're stubborn too would you be surprised?
