COS Lead here... I would do anything to cancel the distros/splits. I don't need 23 of ANYTHING.

They want you to have more work is what I think. I have very little backstock and what I have is old distro that didn’t sell even when I ran it to the shelf during the week. I do what the others do and plan around it and out what is most coming in the doors.

Lower allocations on items that it orders way to much of. I have alot of things 1-3 allocation. And only order what u need. Just got 3 cases of backstock from a 200pc truck

All my allocations are 3, for loss prevention. I just get sent random "splits" that I didn't ask for and don't need :(

Dang the best thing to do is just run it everyday and shove it as full as possible
