Summons


I’ve been asked to attend a management seminar at the end of this week. The topic, believe it or not, is ‘Maximising Summer Profitability by Early-Date Placement of Relevant Products”
Jesus, haven’t we only just taken down the Christmas decorations?
Haven’t we only just put out the Valentine’s cards and appropriate chocolate-based gift items?
Haven’t we only just started making space in the warehouse for the imminent arrival of Easter Eggs? Supermarket life just rumbles on from one big cash-grabbing holiday to the next, and I’m sick of it.
I might go down with a mystery bug on Friday. I really don’t want to spend ten hours in a conference suite being told how to merchandise flip-flops.
