So in the Grocery area of our store, management has decided to reduce markdowns (where we lower the price of food about to expire,  or if we have an overabundance of it) by telling us to only stock to the rate of sale.   That means if we sell 4 Eye of Round steaks we only put out 4 for the whole day essentially.

However last Saturday, because we followed this new rule (and we were shorthanded all throughout the grocery side ) we had empty shelves EVERYWHERE.  Our market manager happened to shop that day, and ripped our managers a new one.

So what plan do these managers concoct to make sure something like that happens?

They give us "a new gameplan"...


TO FILL UP THE FUCKING SHELVES WITH MERCHANDISE

Nice blog.

this is very rich coming from you

Great game plan.

that's a clean burning hell, I'll tell you hwat

This one time, I shoveled a dump truck worth of sand into a pit, and spread all the sand out and shaped it.

Only to have the boss come over and say that there were errors in the blueprints. And that the sand needed to be removed from the pit. By hand. In a wheelbarrow. Lifted back out of the pit. All of it. A dump truck's worth.

Boy I tell ya hwat.

A few laborers quit on that same day.
