So whats with zero Detour nada Labyrinth
Sucks sucks weve had Sucks around
consistently for more than a year Because
its available year round
I know.
This store suffers a wholesale management
turnoverthe third in two and a half years and suddenly as not before favorite products
which virtually walk out the door arent on
the shelves asif some unwholesome spigots been turned We have regulars walking out of here emptyhanded
I know, I’ve heard.
Their disgust is thinly veiled
Disgust. You don’t know that.
Ive been here two and a half
years I know that You dontyouve been herewha three weeks
We lose distribution We been screwing our distributers
No, no. We’ve retained our
distributers.
I didnt ask if weve retained them I asked if were paying them
That’s not in my purview.
Purview Pleased you know the word So whats amiss Were hemorrhaging customers Among them many that if Id seen coming across
the parking lot I could pull their liquor or beverages before they hit the door
and have the order punched into the register where all they need do is pay No shit Thats customers I know Rarely do
they throw me a head fake Theyre faithful
customers They cherish their status quotheir
same old same old No surprises Walk in walk out Regular Customers Dont need prunes if you
follow my drift
Is that fact lost on corporate
Despite themselvesfor all intents
and purposes this is a small local
business not some distant corporate appendage
I can’t speak for corporate .
.
.
. Man you are corporateyoure management
I’ve submitted every item you’ve
mentionedbecause youre relentless. I’ve ordered every one of them.
I’m overruled.
Youre managing ordering what our
customers want And corporate overrules
you Who
Allocation refuses.
Whats allocation
They submit the POs. They’ve cut
my budget three grand a week . .
. . Ya gotta spend money to make money
Theres no risk The product has
legshas always had legs Itll move itself without
us pushing
All I can do is submit orders.
Allocation approves what comes to us.
Who is allocation
I don’t know. They’re at
corporate.
Theyre not here
No.
We are
Yes.
Who knows better
You’ll forgive me, that’s a stupid
question.
And thats your argument Take it up with allocation Youre not askingyoure not submitting youre ordering
You’re jokingyou kidding me?
Im standing in front of you What do you see
I see you’re serious . .
.
. As serious as dry ice burns
I have no influence.
You have orders from the past you
have the stores history Customer is
always right until
I disagree
My hands are tied.
You got a number A name
Names

Damn right
You’d jeopardise your job?
You dont think allocations jeopardising
our jobs We dont carry what people want
they aint coming
I don’t disagree.
Double negative You say I agree
I give a fuck what distant
allocation thinks I have no problems throwing down with idiocy Allocation hasnt a leg to stand on
Shove em
It won’t help.
You dont know because I guarantee
you havent tried
You’re so sure?
Yah Damn sure You gonna tell me otherwise
Didnt think so

corporate
Probably always
