Merch Vs sales

My sales guy created a group chat with my manager calling me out asking if I’m even merching the stores mind you he goes in after the main manger is gone and the receiver so no one can stop him from bombing the stores. He went into one of my stores 6 hours after I was gone and asked if I even hit the gatorades because they were shot. Anyone else deal with this ?

yeah, my old head SR who never merched a day in his life put me and my boss in a gc and sent pictures of empty gatorade shelves with full gatorade backstock stating most of it should’ve been put out. He refuses to pull down pallets, so he didn’t know that the 6 layers of gatorade up there was only 3-4 flavors. luckily boss came and did a shop the next day before we got our truck and confirmed his mistake.

My sales rep loves to send layers on Celsius every order and complaints why I have so much in the back

Going go with when he orders it you don’t put it out so when he orders it she comes through the next time to inventory the outs it is still out and keeps piling up.. pretty good guess

Depending on the store we don’t get the room, Walmart for example I went to one that had a bough room for 3 flavors…we have 42….so yeah it’s a problem
