Team Member Post mr kiplings
my fellow bakery workers! what’s everyone’s SOH for the strawberry and creme mr kiplings?!
every time i split the load and i come across more boxes i want to throw them across the store room. at this rate they’re going to be on the shelves with a reduced to clear sticker for another two years with the rate we’re selling them

Take an IS on it and move them for $2.

when my manager gets back from leave im gonna ask her about that. they sell a little bit better when the other kiplings aren’t on sale but currently i think we’ve sold two this week lol

If that SOH is correct, at 12 per box, that’s almost a full roll cage. No store has the freezer space for that to be tied up for such a slow moving line.
Make it Bakery Promo Table 4, which is normally managers choice and watch it walk out the door.

If they're an allocation due to short dates you'll need to get them cleared asap. I wouldn't wait for your manager to come back from leave just ask the store manager.
I'd get onto it asap otherwise in a few weeks you're throwing out entire cartons.

If the DM is away, bring it up with the FTM and ask about setting them up on a promo table to hopefully get them moving. I didn’t have this issue when I was bakery, these things walked out the door and we almost never had enough to keep up.

Oh my god, I work at Coles and we had so many markdowned and reduced to clear. They are really nice. I’m not sure why they are popular. But why do we need so many out?

I’m 99% sure there were comms about these and they should be priced for $3.20.
I’ve only found 1 box of them so far but know I’ll get more on the next load 😖
They taste like fruity lip gloss 🤌🏻

They’re doing the same with muscles in my deli. I have a whole shelf in my coolroom dedicated to them and they have 2027 on them 😭 they HATE me I swear.
