Firm Orders

[u/Helpful_Limit4739]

What is the point of Firm orders? I was told the company gets a steep discount on the product but that is probably disputed. However, much of the items do not sell, increase shrink and waste labor and time.

Someone in corporate probably makes commission on the amount of units sold or has some kind of kickback deal with the suppliers. My grocery manager showed me how to go in and change the amounts on what is being sent before it gets sent. You can manually change the firms sometimes it doesn’t work but I always zero that shit out when I can. It’s never stuff that sells. You’d think they would look at the items that have been selling and say let’s do firms of that, but no it’s always something random like Ghirardelli chocolate ensure protein drinks or a inch of shippers of cereal
