The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same.
In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with ~~$1099.99~~ struck through with "$899.99" written underneath, and Wallace charges.

Work at Best buy currently in inventory, last year all week of black Friday we have over 300 online orders at once until we were getting closer to the end of the night. This week so far the most I've seen is 50. We're staffed the same, less so in fact with all the call-outs, but still we have a full team in tomorrow from 1am until midnight.
1am geezus back when I worked at Bestbuy. 2008ish I came in at 3:30am to sell shitty netbooks to customers waiting in the lines outside.
In 1998 I used to have to be in at 6AM.This thread is like a nice little timeline of the enshittification of America.
