Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Writing on the wall

For the past few weeks our fresh areas have been getting less and less freight in. We don't usually receive what we order either. They're shorting us on a lot of items too. I don't believe this to be accidental, but purpose driven. Our club is super slow too, definitely under the $60 million a year threshold.

Just a few weeks ago there was a glitch in the system and had every type of meat ringing up dirt cheap. They said it was accidental, but I think it was a slip up for what's to come.

Side note: our deli was getting a ton of freight and all of a sudden they're receiving tiny loads and the coolers are basically bare.

The buzz in our club is that we'll probably be on that list of closings.

It's that time of year people. By March, April we will be wide open again! Take a break while you can and get a head start on the hustle and bustle before it starts.

This has nothing to do with your club closing. This happens every year. The company has to pay taxes on inventory in the clubs and a portion of the buyers annual bonus is tied to inventory levels.

We have lots of cancelled items throughout the whole club. Steel is empty, anything in the steel is a lot of paper products. no freight in the backroom.

The same thing is happening at my club. We were receiving tons of turkeys and hams in November and December, same with Cranberry sauce and gravy in deli. Bakery is no longer getting pumpkin pies or dinner rolls by the thousands. No longer carrying trees or pumpkins, costumes or monster related candy. Great news is I'm stating to see candy with heart shaped boxes come in, I thought we were closing for sure when we stopped carrying those in March of last year.

I'm sorry to have to agree with you. Those were signs before ours closed. Watch out for a note on the time clock this coming Wednesday evening. That's the rumored date. Supposed to give the news Thursday but we'll see. Even if they don't give the news then, it'll be soon .
