The supply chain crunch is starting to threaten holiday shoppers’ wishlists, said financial experts this week.

“There will definitely be weeping children this holiday season,” Joel Bines, the co-head of AlixPartners’ retail consulting practice, told the Financial Times. “Black Friday doesn’t exist; the holiday season doesn’t exist, not as it used to,” he said, adding that the “most in-demand” items will be in short supply due to disruptions.
