@ClassaxV ....I understand and agree. The whole chip thing to me is stupid. OK, you're not building cars, "cut the number of chips we need". Did you think you were NEVER going to build cars (or whatever) again? Did you think Covid was going to end the world?
And don't get me started on "just in time" inventory. We're still doing that? It didn't work when I was in college and retail in the early eighties. Yes, for the one or two you sell on occasion. But when you only have one or two widgets, and there's a big sale coming up next month, you have to special order more widgets, then your inventory is all messed up. Maybe you get your widgets in time, maybe not. I can't tell you how many times we were out of stock or didn't have the reorder point right.
Remember when it used to be sex, drugs and rock n roll? Now it's money, money and money.
