decimated in the wake of 
boycotts. Leafs smugly admire their empty grocery shelves.

sick 10 case allocation of cauliflower there. real talk if you guys want to know why grocery stores lose so much money it's shit like this, of all the dumb shit I've heard from execs and store directors the obsession with how stuff looks over the quality of said stuff or the shrink profile is wild.
"hey guys let's put 10 cases of a highly perishable product out of refrigeration because it looks cool., sure we sell 2 cases a day but so what."
same for that 3+ case allocation of pink lady apples there, worst apple in the world, bruises easily, low seller. thats why they still have them, because nobody fricking buys them and you throw 70% of them away.

I've always heard the produce section operated at a loss to get people to the middle isles where the profit was. I didn't realize they operated at a loss due to their own r-sluration.

ive never seen produce run at a loss but the margins are very tight, it is however true produce is an influencer department meaning most people pick a store to shop at based on the produce.
ive gotten into it with people several times over shrink - just absoltuely r-slurred display plans from the main office that make no coherent sense, it's like they don't understand whats happening.
No, it isn't a good idea to run a giant plantain display when the entire district sells basically no plantains.
these are the same people that came at me for running unapproved sales on honeyglow pineapple after they sent out massive DBs to every store. if i didn't do what i did the company would have lost a ton of money.
