This story brought to you by Murphy's Law, and the number 2.
There are several areas of our store that are just plain messy. Many items don't have a peg, so they go on the floor. We recently got a new hire, who really hates it when he has to get a price from the computer because it's on the floor and doesn't have a tag. So he takes it upon himself to redo the entire wall.
It looks beautiful. Even better than some of the professional plan-o-grams I've seen. Far better. Absolutely.
And then the Store Manager (Cool guy, I like him. ... though I like all my Coworkers and Managers, thank the stars.) pops up and tells us that we're getting in new merchandise from another company. Milwaukee, Stihl, Skil, Black & Decker, Craftsman, etc. We have to move the contents of an entire wall away to make room for the other company's additions.
Where does the old stuff go? Right in the place that he just redid. Of course. The stuff that was there previously gets tossed, simple and clean.
This is only the fourth time that this has happened in the span of maybe two years. I'm kind of hoping to employ Murphy's Law and clean up the aisles that I hate the most, in order to get them replaced.
