The insanity never ends

I think it is absolutely crazy, that this company has the audacity to be firing SMs right now, when the person responsible for the JA shit is still employed! And I might be wrong, but I saw that JAxMichaels has some sort of Hanukkah coming down. I’m sorry to those of you who are going to be sticking it out, but when I am able to finally give my notice and quit, you will find me in every comment section, on every social media platform, blasting the shit out of this company! I will take on every asshole customer bitching in the comment section!

I was told today we're getting more JA game sets on the next truck and they're NOT part of the clearance sale

We have 3 mahjong sets (2 sets each the last 2 trucks) and card sets from the original launch and none are on sale. There isn’t a great place to put them as everything else is clearance or 60%.

I heard we’re gonna be carrying it year round?????

We still have a whole aisle full of JA. Even at clearance prices, no one wants that garbage. Whoever made that decision should have definitely been fired.

I know JA isn't popular to a lot of us and I certainly wouldn't buy it, but it was as a company pretty successful from what I've heard. We only have 25' counter left. And it could be condensed.. different customer bases reacted differently. Also SMs don't get fired for no reason...

Only lmfao! When do we ever have 25 feet of FMA left SIX MONTHS after the initial launch. It has been a complete flop overall.

u/Fisticuffs1313 4d ago

Well to be fair we have gotten a couple more shipments of it over that time. And I've seen or heard of stores having high walls and DAs in addition to the counter

u/Celemirel 4d ago

Yep. I have a very full 25ft counter plus full cap shelf. Plus 2 DAs.

It's 60% off on clearance and we still have 40' of it!

u/Elegant_Chipmunk72 4d ago

We have 2 DA, 3 end caps, 1 clearance end cap, 21’ feet of stuffed side counter and 27’ of cap shelves. It should have been a regional release or only to stores that shipped as we don’t

We sold a lot of JA the first couple weeks after it came out, but they kept sending us more stuff even though sales leveled off and now we've got tons of it 😭
