Mark this day, (yesterday) June 16, 2009 is officially Fall in the whacked out world of retail.
We processed a truck of freight yesterday and in all of my Children’s departments I received fall clothes. I put out long sleeve shirts for girls and boys because I had the space on the salesfloor to merchandise them. I had to backstock fall dresses for infants and toddlers because I have too many spring/summer dresses still out there.
I think it is really ridiculous that summer is over before it has even begun. It is 96 degrees today and we are selling long sleeve shirts. That gets my goat.
We are always told merchandise seasonally, yet how can we do that if in the middle of JUNE we get Fall apparel? AACCCKKK my head is gonna explode.
I even heard that a craft store in town has started selling Christmas stuff…
BOOM!!!
