Has stock been better at your store this triples? The extremely friendly associate checking me out the other day was telling me about 2 things HT is doing to try to do better with inventory and coupons:
1) They're tracking what coupons are used, especially when coupled with sales, to try to have better stock of hot items when they are on sale plus coupons.
2) The rainchecks have control numbers on them now, so they know which stores run out of which stuff often.....sounds like that will help them know which things to pull more of from the warehouse when sales come up.
I know the raincheck things is a pain, but I think it's great they are trying to do better on inventory. I have pretty much already used up my coupons since I haven't been buying papers lately (I am LITERALLY running out of room, even with my massive storage system), but it does seem the stock has been much better. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to use up my many coupons on Suave and Sweet Sue chicken this time. |
