You want that done now? Hahahahahaha

The following edict came down from corporate a day or two ago: All toys must be purged from the backroom to the salesfloor. No toys can be in backstock. This is impossible anyway because the backroom is still cram-packed with toys and there is no place to put them.

Guess what came in on the truck tonight? 7 or 8 pallets of toys. Two of which were clearance toys. The clearance aisle is full, the clearance back endstands are full, there are two power fixtures with clearance toys on them and management won't approve any more, so those will just have to sit.

Another edict came down from corporate: Holiday dishes have to be purged from the backroom to the salesfloor. No holiday dishes can be in backstock. There are no more holiday dishes at the distribution center. Two nights ago the third-shift people worked them all to the floor and had to move stuff around to fit everything in the gondola.

Guess what came in on the truck tonight? A pallet of holiday dishes. I swear either the DC outright lies to us about they have or don't have, or they have no frasking clue what they have there.

Yeah, I had that at my old job. The shelves are packed and putting any more on them will cause them to snap. There's no space for accessories and district will not allow any reduction in travel space to accommodate more floor exposure.

How is this a factor you ask? District wanted us to get out ALL the product in storage onto the floor. The storage is about half the size of what we had on the floor, and that's not factoring the new shipments, which double the amount.

Of course, Our SM said "Of course we'll get it done, I'll do it myself." Yeah right. This moron who setting foot outside his office once a week is about average for him. In short, not gonna happen.
