I can not get freaking product in to our store anymore
 Advertisements [?]Edited on Wed Jan-14-09 02:54 PM by TwixVoy
This year so far has been a joke. I work at a multi-billion dollar retailer and I can not even get product from our distribution centers anymore for the departments I manage. I am talking the little product that we KNOW will sell at least some what. I try to order more on the PDA every day because 50% of electronics, toys, sporting goods, seasonal is blown. Distribution center sends a date saying I'll get the product on the 11th. It's now the 14th and I've gotten 5% of what I tried to get in.

I send an email up to corporate escalating the instock issue. The response? Essentially "you are shit out of luck because the distribution centers can't get it to send to you".

To make it even more nuts... we just set our new line of seasonal product this last week. The company just sent direction to EVERY STORE to immediately activate clerance prices of 30% on all of it. I have never EVER EVER EVER EVER in my years working retail at this company seen that happen before. We NEVER do that. The product was already marked down a HUGE percentage from what it was last year.

To make matters worse all that mark down has resulted in ZERO sales increase. Wonderful.

We see that The Straight Story is still dilligently pursuing gainful employment 24/7...

I smell elastomer.

Considering their own lifestyles and values, I doubt they'd take any particular issue with it.

I was wondering that too.  I thought maybe he was trying to support himself by making and selling pottery.
