Marketing?

About a month ago, I went to Wal-Mart (no booing) to look for Ice Melt for the driveway. When I got there, I couldn't find any. It was February! Shouldn't there be Ice Melt at WallyWorld?

I finally found and asked a sales guy where to find the Ice Melt and he said, "Don't stock it anymore. The season's over." Since then we have had ice once and are supposed to get some ice tomorrow too.

Whoops! This is the problem with large multi-national corporations: There is no flexibility in stock. You get what's due for the season based on statistical and business models. Who cares if it snows?

Oh yeah, I do-my street sucks when its icy.
