No pants, no problem, thanks to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Due to an increase in working from home as people hunker down to wait out the spread of COVID-19, Walmart has reported selling more tops than bottoms.
Apparently, teleworkers have adapted quickly to the new style trend: business up top, anything goes below. “We’re seeing increased sales in tops, but not bottoms.
People who are concerned, obviously, from the waist up,” Dan Bartlett, Walmart’s executive vice president of corporate affairs, told Yahoo Finance. “These behaviours are going to continue to change and evolve as people get accustomed to this new lifestyle.” He said the store is seeing a “massive volume” of online orders now.
