Popular Post Asquith Production Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 Just returned from a well known supermarket chain after having to jump over and push past trollys loaded with goods and trays of eggs on the floor with staff cross legged alongside them. It makes shopping very difficult and makes it impossible to look at or reach certain items. It does not seem to matter what time of day I go in their is always someone stocking shelves and causing a blockage. In other countries they have staff to resupply when the shop is closed. I realise that some products need to be restocked during the day but today every aisle had someone in it and the ones that did not had products causing a blockage. 7 2 2 2 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 Common sense dictates a store would be more efficient to stock shelves late at night or even early morning. Most large markets in the US stock shelves after midnight or a few hours before they open. Often this is outsourced to a third party. Of course common sense and efficient business operations are rare to nonexistent in the Land of Smiles. Billy Joel once said “don’t go changing, trying to please, I love you (LOS) just the way you are”. I must be getting old because lately I feel “love it or leave it”. 3 4 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none the less it means goods in the aisle, sometimes waiting to be unloaded due to the lack of staff 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a cost perspective it makes more sense to let the staff you already pay to be in the shop do it. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a rant. Just someone who likes to shop without negotiating an obstacle course But you made the rant as if this is a 'Thai only' think and have implied that stocking the shelves exists because Thai's are incapable of organising themselves to stock the shelves at intervals when there are no customers. As SAFETY FIRST mentioned, as rants go, its up there with one of the best, or rather one of the most pathetic, particularly when considering that supermarkets in our home nations also continue to keep the shelves 'topped up' the shelves during the day time, although the majority of 'shelf stacking' occurs at nights, as it likely does in Thai supermarkets too.

youreavinalaff Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) It's cost saving. Savings that can be passed onto customers. In the UK, Lidl and Aldi stock up during the day. Look at their prices. Always lower than other supermarkets. The stores are always busy. It obviously is a business plan that works.

Popular Post retarius Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 They are poorly run. Inventory control is abysmal, as is customer service, as is stocking the shelves when the supermarket is most full with customers. They have staff meetings in the middle of the aisles for goodness sake. Labour is very cheap here, and they could easily stock the shelves at night. 2 1 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know they don't stock the shelves at night ??? They also keep stock maintained in the day time, that doesn't mean they only stock the shelves at night... ......

it is what it is Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) In other countries they have staff to resupply when the shop is closed. not true, in the uk supermarket shelves are re-stocked during shop open hours try not to see criticism through the lens that if something is not right it must be because it's thai/thailand.
