The stores have been down 20% then 30 now 40% over last year. There are NO CUSTOMERS shopping in the store. We keep getting less and less.

The shipments to the store from the DC are lighter and lighter. Cheap stuff like water is being used to fill shelves. Every day it seems like another company is dropping shipments to the stores. When you do a spot check on inventory it says there is a delay in shipment from the manufacturer or that there is a supply chain issue which is doublespeak for the fact that the suppliers have stopped shipping to the company.

Things are REALLY BAD! I do not believe that there is any way this company will survive and I think todays announcement is stock manipulation.

I really like my job and wish it could go on but it is just not happening.

Wake up, be proactive. You see what is happening, the fate has been determined, we are just going thru motions right now. Winter has arrived!

I wonder if we work at the same store? I'm at Sears though.

My store has had no huge issues with LACK of stock coming in from the warehouse. Where our problem lies, of course, is the fact that we don't have enough people to move anything out of the backroom, which is of course exacerbated by the lack of people to set any layouts upon which that merchandise will go. Now we're also doing transfers of our clearance apparel to a nearby closing store, and there's an enormous pile of boxes just sitting on several pallets waiting to go somewhere and otherwise taking up space.

I remember in years past, we could rely on other stores in our district sending people over temporarily if things got really backed up. Now there obviously isn't the payroll to do that, nor do any stores even have enough people to even spare.

I look at the sales history every day when I login to my RMU, and we're just down under last year by double digits every day of the new fiscal year.
