I work for a company that supplies some grocery items to the company under their private label. Was checking stores. The two F&E stores, not going to name them as I don't want to hurt any store employees, were running at about a 30% out of stock rate;; horrible. Both dry grocery, produce, meat and prepared foods. Talked to a store employee and she said it's been a regular problem despite the store manager constantly calling the head office about the out of stocks. Last month we also had an issue about getting deliveries unloaded at their distribution center. They were out of stock on our grocery otems and still took days before they could take the delivery beyond the scheduled date.

It's California, NOT Surrey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
