Someone has lost the plot

The party is well and truly over. The fidget spinner fad is long since over. By the time kids went back to school in September none of them wanted a fidget spinner anymore. But Staples is filled with fidget spinners at prices that appear to be unchanged since the summer.

Date on "fidget spinner, assorted" price sign, Staples, Vancouver, BC (December 4, 2017)

These signs either went up on August 7, 2017, or July 8, 2017, but since Staples is an American firm I assume that the signs are dated August 7, 2017.

The peak time for fidget spinners was April through June, 2017. Anyone thinking that they can get the full retail price for this fad product six months after the peak is deluding themselves.
