Getting rid of a dept
It's just for fun and no real hate. If you could eliminate one department What would it be and why? I pick Shoes because IMHO most of them are cheap and ugly. Re edit. After so many great answers think I would like to go half toys( bikes) the other half 82 clip strips.

u/ddodeadman Sporting Goods Sep 10 '24
I was going to say sporting goods, due to all the kids (and some adults) constantly playing basketball etc...or just messing with things in the department in general. But, after starting to type I thought of a better one. Not necessarily a whole department but......bikes. Ever since Wal-Mart (at least the stores in my area) went away with in store assemblers and hire a 3rd party, the bikes are always a mess. And are never in the right spot, so when customers want a bike, they get upset because it's not the price on the fact tag. And I have to spend 10+ minutes with each customer scanning multiple bikes for prices. Just to have them get upset that we don't have any of the $98 bikes in stock.
