I don't work in retail, but I'm pretty sure what stores get is not quite the guessing game most store guys will claim it is,.. "i'm not sure when we'll get more MU in,.. the computer knows when we're low and
auto-orders for us
" is what TRU guy told me recently. I have two degrees; I'm no fool (just very immature), if they wanted to do whatever work was needed to get certain stock in, I'm sure they could.
This makes sense. That would explain why most to the Wal-Mart's around me seem to stop carrying MU together. If they are ran by the same Manger and that Manager feels like that toy line isn't selling. He prolly just took it off the system for the stores he runs.
