Need More Food

Sometimes I wonder if the people who come up with the new set ups of our product on our stores...have ever been in a pet store in their life.

As we got in new Betta Fish we needed to readjust their spot.
Only....
It's like the people don't realize how many bettas we go through in a day. A week.

We get in one or two boxes full of bettas. That's anywhere between 25-70 bettas at a time.
Most of the time we sell through almost all of them by the time our next shipment comes.

Which means at the same time, we go through a lot of betta products.
Especially food.
Because if we're selling live animals....they kinda need to eat.

So whoever had the 'brilliant' idea to bring in more bettas, and not expanding our space for them, therefore causing us to have to hunt for other locations to place our extras...
Obviously wasn't thinking logically.
When they decided to move our betta food onto a tiny wing on the side of our betta section.
That tiny wing?
Only allows us to place like two bottles of each variety of betta food onto it at a time.
TWO.
With each brand of food all together....yah I'm lucky if I can fit 15 bottles of product onto that tiny wing.

We get in like 20 bottles of EACH brand at a time.
Because that's how fast we move through it.
So now, we have a ton of overstock that we have to find a place for.
And now we have to keep an eye on our tiny wing. Because when that thing empties out (which will probably happen every hour) we will need to refill it.

Thanks for giving us more work planner guys. >.< Next time actually think about how much food needs to be available for customers buying all our bettas.
