  • Spontaneous chocolate bunny genesis...

    I walked into the warehouse this morning to see about two dozen cases of chocolate bunnies (up from zero the other day). I see J and ask "Did someone screw up and triple our order?"

    As I heard it, all the other stores way over-ordered and apparently didn't think they could get rid of them all in four days. Our store outsold them on the smaller bunnies, so...guess everyone else figured "let's send them to [city], they sold tons!" The majority of the transfer was the smaller ones, which J credited me with selling so much of...so this is my fault

    On top of that we have a separate, scheduled delivery of same coming in at some point very soon So there are now bunnies everywhere...all the displays are full save one we really need now that was commandeered for the colombe, there are bunnies marching in formation up the stairs to the roof restaurant, we took over another display, they're breeding at the registers and QSR... (why am I reminded of the Father Ted episode with the rabbit infestation...?)

    Front end is very happy as I've been ferrying them tons of bubblewrap for popping.

    Today alone I must have culled one whole case worth of smashed small bunnies (45 of the things). D got the idea to sample the chocolate along with the colombe today. I might be bringing more home, maybe to melt down as J has challenged me to make an easter jackalope.

    N thought that we should have a special sale where you buy a colombe and get one of the 6" or larger bunnies for 30% off...at least we'd make some money rather than having to let all of them go at half off.

    So the other stores, if they have something that's not selling fast enough, send it to you, and it's now your problem that the merchandise doesn't move before it becomes outdated. Nice scam they've got.

    In other words, the chocolate bunnies are breeding like rabbits? Those aren't bunnies, they're tribbles.
    Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

      Are you really selling them or all going to shrink and it looks like sales?

      Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

        wolfie, we have some regular stock items that's the same story but I don't think we get transfers of that stuff (because it's readily available, unlike the bunnies).

        The damages from this round came from sealed cases (I could see broken ones before I broke the seals on the plastic tubs), so I suspect the other warehouse teams just flung the boxes everywhichway. J says that sales are the higher number, probably not by much though... If we don't blow through all of this by Sunday they go 50% off along with the colombe but that's not really how we want to do it. Hopefully D sampling the chocolate jumpstarted things. I was thinking of tribbles when I was sitting in a pile of half-full boxes arranging the silly things on the stairs....we probably do have enough to stage that scene
