      Not to mention, with the in store employees who are shopping for customers now, I can tell you at my store it would regularly take months to update the new locations of items in the system, that’s at a Kroger…

      As a career manager in a grocery store, I’m just getting a kick out of the conspiracies here over why stores reline products or display items on cardboard shippers. I want to hear theories on why end-caps tend to change each week.
