There are only so many different ways you can eat chips.
FACT.

Every week I have to order more!

As for the candy, my area should be a good seller of the grillz but they're not. AT ALL.

My DM bought a popcorn bag and it was expired...he found out after he ate some of it :x







Promo candy is annoying. They should just not give it to us if its in theaters, it doesn't sell that well. Now Bakugan! Holy shit. send more.

just one thing: i wouldn't hate specialty/seasonal/promo candy products. those Twilight hearts sold in a week. it was crazy. the Spongebob candy is out as soon as we stock it. the only promo candies that i remember completely failing are the hannah montana ones.

the prices are a bit outrageous on items. i always have customers grabbing bags of doritos from the frito lay shelf asking how much they are. soon as i tell them, they don't say a thing and just leave them to the side on the front counter. same for pretzels. kinda weird how are ice cream sells well but they don't want to pay a buck more than the grocery store for some doritos.

They really need to get rid of about 50% of the confection, have more specials and concentrate on the popular ones.

$1 more than at the grocery store? In my store, when I had the dishonor of being the SM, which was like a month ago, they were .99 cents, as clearly stated on the bags! Or $1.29 depending on the size...

Where are they ripping people off on the Fritos? I wouldn't buy them for a penny more than they sell them at the grocery store. Its bad enough a 20oz soda is almost $2 with tax.

If you notice, our .99 Frito bags weigh less than the ones at all the other stores for .99
And beer is cheaper than soda.

When I worked at Disneyland, a small bag of Lay's ran anywhere from 3 to 4 dollars depending where in the park you're at.

I, too, had quotas to meet so I would just remind guests it's the only place for miles to get em Wonder how well that trick works at BB.

I never noticed that...hmmm. Is that because our customers eat out of them before browsing the store, then place them back for sale to the next?



I never checked the oz. though, thanks for pointing that out. Just another deception on behalf of the block!
