I’ve had it with them. Like many of you, my store is struggling with logistics and is behind, so there is a lot of backed up push/backstock/truck/mess etc everywhere. Short on flow and BR staff and sales floor payroll. So, when they check brickseek and see that their stupid captain crunch arrived at 5am? Lol zero chance. I told them if they were found they’d be held for open tomorrow. Thought that was the end of it, but on my way out I see one from this morning of them demanding the lod to try and get one. Should have seen the look on his face when I went up with the lod. Anyways...
From now on, we will be letting guests know that even if there is no street date, we are not obligated to have collectible product available for purchase before it’s planogram set date. So, if it sets 9/2, and it’s only 8/20 today, I don’t care if I ‘have’ it, if it’s not handy, I’m not looking for it. We still have to finish friday’s truck, and we get at least one truck a day, so too bad!
They should see this as an upside, it’s a chance for them to bicker and bitch among themselves over the hard to find ones after they miss them at other stores.
Also, it’s hilarious he accused us of taking them... speaking for the entire store, we’re all either too not-fucking-lame, broke, lazy, or too stupid to know it’s worth more than $8 on eBay to waste our time sneakily buying them before store open.
