A TikTok user recorded multiple Walmart staffers attempting to purchase all of their store's stock of PlayStation 5 consoles, posting the video and explaining the event on her account. User @adorablemiah's video has already snagged thousands of views. The outrage stems from the lack of PlayStation 5 stock for the holiday season, which Sony executives warned would happen. And people are going to extreme lengths to get the PS5 console. So when people are taking advantage of their place of work at the expense of customers who wait in line for hours, there's going to be a lot of anger.
There’s been no word on what happened after the video was taken. Miah herself seems to have gotten the console they were looking for and are enjoying it at home. For a ton of others, the chase is still on as the clock keeps ticking towards Christmas.
These kinds of shortages have been a constant source of conversation for gamers over the last few weeks. eBay had to come out and condemn the scalpers a few weeks ago because the problem has only been growing bigger since the console’s launch.
