It's "This year we're cutting back on patio furniture."
I mean, that's what management told us, the buyers were planning to cut back on their orders. The economy sucks and people aren't spending on luxury purchases such as patio furniture.
So what's been coming in on our last four trucks or so? Patio furniture. Lots and lots of patio furniture. Tables, umbrellas, umbrella stands and side tables. And chairs. Big stacks and boxes full of chairs.
Result: we end up having to spend half the day rearranging backstock so everything can be kept together, because inventory is less than two weeks away.
We'll be sitting on patio furniture in September as we're setting up Christmas. It happens every year. I don't know what possessed me to think this year would be any different.
