The vast majority of the inventory is already on the sales floor.
Also, the backstock is minimal. Stores are designed for turnaround.
Glad someone made this point. I'm curious how long people think most items in a grocery store last? Just consider the trucks you see stocking them on a daily basis. Typically it is bread and other high flow consumables, no?
Right. Not selling things fast enough is a bigger problem than not having enough storage for unsold stock.
