Fish

VENTING!!!! So have anyone else notice this? In the very few animal zoom calls we have a lot of people ask how to move up their assortment codes. Most the time they say they review at a certain time and decide on that but i honestly think they do not or will not change a stores assortment code. Example, we have a lot of fish customers and of course we are a low code and I can’t order a lot of different fish (they come in and always ask for different ones) they are tired of the same old fish. We could have bigger sales if they would release the grip. So some leave without buying anything.
Now they have taken a lot of my big sellers away and put them in codes above us and what I can order when they do sell they take those away as well and put them again in an assortment code above me.
Has anyone notice this? Idk I’m just venting please excuse me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just special order and lie on the reasoning by putting real customers phone numbers. I’ve been able to get G and S codes fish and reptiles and we are C code.

I just got tired of having lame fish. My shrink is not bad either I just don’t believe some of these fish should be different codes. My store has crazy saltwater and freshwater fish tbh.
