This store is a mess. We didnt get our visit they passed up our store even though they were just an hour awaynat another store. We have our over heads packed nothing can go out. I heard the store in tahoe lost their manager. He just said he was gone and i guess they also lost a group of employees. They pulled people from our store. Our store manager an ASM and a few other people which left us short today with our truck.

Our overheads are completely full and stacked 4 high. The homes are full and more of the same keep coming in. We don't have the space and since the holiday merchandise is going to start coming in its just going to get worse. The overheads from health and beauty to school supplies are stacked high with paper towels and bath tissue. We have pallets that do not get worked because they do not give the merchandisers the hours that they need to to their jobs but of course our Store manager, assistant manager and other workers to help out another store where we now hear there was a mass exodus. Not only did their store manager leave but it seems as though their stocking crew did also.
Something has to be coming soon.
We still have apparel stacked on pallets in the backroom from two years ago. Not enough time to return 15 pallets of clothes and shoes with minimal employees and just a few hours a day to stock and unload trucks.
It has been known for many years there are problems with what is sent into stores. One store in my district is now low volume and three years ago had its salesfloor downsized from 120,000 sf to 70,000 sf. The store still receives product as if it were a higher volume store at 120,000 sf. Three years in a row, end of season apparel clearance took up the entire apparel departments of the store. There weren't even enough racks to clearance everything out in the store.
All of this yet we all know about stores with not enough merchandise in every department in the store. A non-closing store in the Buffalo area has nothing in stockrooms, nothing on overheads and over a dozen aisles with shelves that have nothing but single plastic storage bins. There is one aisle with 20 feet of large pack paper towels spaced a foot apart on both sides.
Are they guilty of not doing resets? Nope. They are following all planograms and resets.
