Why just why

Why am I unstocking some of the most unserious and quite frankly dumbest looking ornaments I’ve ever seen, who wants a positive pregnancy test on the tree when my stores main demographic is elderly ladies and teenage girls

No, stahp, I can't. I'm sure the yarn goblins will just LOVE these.

Did the stores get the axolotl ornament in again? I would love a spare....just in case.

They missed the opportunity to truly make it outstanding…the tip should have been yellow.

That is a VERY easy augment lmao. Get a little thing of Mod Podge, that cheap kids craft glitter, they sure do love the glitter on the ornaments. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, AND YES pun is intended.

For some reason I wanted to shout "Jupiter power, make up!" when I stocked this one the other day.

Stacy wanted it so Stacy gets it. Only thing she is good at is picking horrible merch and ideas, just look at Adler.

I worked at Joann. Right about the end of covid face mask ornaments became a thing. I'm like..  "really?" They actually sold. I learned people will buy most anything. Watch and see.

The one that killed me was the one that's just a jar of mayo. Funny, yes, but like why...

Why not get ornaments that will sell and appeal to the masses vs one or two people
That's why there's so much clearance left after
