In the past few years, companies have gotten more attentive to their inventories as a way to cut costs. That may be a good way to control inventory costs, but it is VERY inconvenient and frustrating for the customer.
I've had several incidents lately where I had to make trips to multiple stores to find materials that I needed for my rental business. Earlier this week I was only able to get one scaffold at a local store, but had to drive 30 miles to another town to get a second scaffold. Today, I wanted to buy several miniblinds for one of our new rentals. Unfortunately, WalMart did not have enough miniblinds in stock and I will have to get the remaining miniblinds at Lowes on Monday. Worst of all, I recently wanted to buy some paint for an apartment building. Sherman Williams did not have the paint in stock! Now that's RIDICULOUS! A paint store without enought paint to fill a customer's order!
Except for picking up the miniblinds while I was at Walmart, I didn't do any work today and don't plan on doing any tomorrow either.
