And back to business, I don't see a big reason for Walmart or Target managers to get more hands on with something like this, but I think TRU should,.. since that's their specialty (toys), AND because I think it would help keep them relevant. Let's be honest, the only reason anyone would buy at TRU over Target or Walmart is because of selection; certainly not because of price tags.
Having worked with it on a personal level for nearly five years straight (Going from two previous companies that hand ordered everything), I can say POS causes way more trouble than it's worth. *Especially* when it decides you need 50 more cases of grapes when you're already sitting on 100 in your backroom, and just threw away 20 cases that turned rotten before you could even get them onto the floor.
Toys really isn't much different than food in some ways. It has a shelf life now, and the older something is, the less desirable it is to buy. POS works fine though for non-perishable items, like paper plates, cleaners, light bulbs and stuff like that.

Other than that, I *completely* agree with you. TRU definately should be different as this is their specialty (Unfortunately my local TRU seems to care even less than their competition).
Also managers do have some say, though not as much as you might think.
