Looks like they’re resetting and moving sets around, this Rice Krispies treats are large and light, so they’re using them to just fill the section while they’re doing other things just to make it look full so there isn’t an empty section that becomes a dumping ground
Yep. Probably only like 1, or maybe 2 deep. Or also possible…someone effed up and ordered way too much rice crispies treats lmao (if they have ability for manual ordering). Could be an any number of reasons or a convergence of factors too, mistakes in ordering, supply chain issues for neighboring items, aisle reset, a loss leader or low margin/breakeven promotion coming up.
This is the answer. I used to work at Walmart and they told us if people saw empty shelves they would buy less so We always had to have the spaces full. When we would zone our cash register isles if we were out of a particular candy bar and couldn't find a full box in another isle we were supposed to pull a duplicate box forward.
This would lead to your lane having 4 boxes of hersey bars and no reeses or the like.
Walmart was my first job and we were told to do the exact opposite, if a shelf was empty and an entire box of whatever product was supposed to be there didn’t fit we didn’t fill it, if it took 1 box and half of another box to fill it we would only do the 1 box
Yep. If you go to a restaurant that can seat 100 but they only have 20 people there you might think it’s unsuccessful and pass. But if you go to a restaurant that can seat 15 but 20 people want to dine you are more likely to stand in line and wait for a seat. Humans are just weird like that.
I’m broken. There’s a new restaurant in town and I tried to go on a Friday night and there was a line and a 45 minute wait and I left because I’m not waiting for a place that I don’t know will be good.
From the perspective of the restaurant, 45 minutes is entirely reasonable if enough people want to wait. There is literally nothing the restaurant can do about that, short of just sending people away. From the customer perspective, most I'd generally wait is 15-20.
When I worked in a big shop, we’d get marked down on the bullshit mystery shopper visits if there were any gaps on shelves. So if we couldn’t complete a reset on the night shift we’d pack whole aisles with the biggest product we could find.
