Yeah, but to stick with the analogy, isn't this more like putting out empty boxes of TVs that have already been sold and having employees dressed as customers frantically buying them in front of regular customers.

Thanks for reading btw, and thanks to whoever posted it here.

Which apparently is done at some of the new hip restaurants.

Hmm, I wonder if Amazon was doing this with their new store at Santana Row in SJ: https://imgur.com/a/qSVYG

If an electronics retailer could do this at no additional cost, I have no doubt that they would.

...or like the employee just shouting rather loudly across the showroom floor to a colleague:

"Hey Joe we just sold another one of the <insert TV you happen to be looking at>. That's the 3rd one today - we better order some more before we run out of stock"
