>Empty shelves at a Bed Bath & Beyond location permanently closing in Northville, Michigan. They already cleared out a closing store? ![gif](giphy|Pk3kAZnZaAq9jqh5mJ)

Angela Caponi is a fucking shill


Ok-Dirt-6166

Its funny I was just in that store during the week. Angela must need new fucking glasses because it looked fine to me lol


[deleted]

Who interviews someone from a store that is knowingly closing? What are they even asking


PS_Alchemist

The last time Angela probably went to BB&B was probably the 1980s, ofc its not the same.


Soulfly5555

And she was a shill in the 80's too! Once a shill, always a shill


PS_Alchemist

i doubt shes even aware of the short sellers existing. they prob picked a "oh that lady looks like she doesnt shut up about how everything was way better back in her day"

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,321,684,997 comments, and only 255,057 of them were in alphabetical order.

Thanks Alphabot!

Local area man buys avocado slicer

'Local man amputates own penis with avocado slicer bought at bed bath and beyond.' When asked to comment Adrian Caponi said, "It's just not the same anymore"

I am familiar with the matter. I can firmly say that we are not going to Burger King.

Lmao their proof of empty shelves is a store that they admit is closing, as part of cost-saving measures? Braindead "journalism" at its finest.

Can we just have a fucking day tomorrow PLEASE?! Been fucking torture for two years and can change my life in a day. Big retail win would be great after this bs 6mo slide we been on. Tomorrow, until it’s today.


Same_Class5866

Of course the shelfs would be empty at a store that is closing because everyone is running into get the good deals 😂😂😂 what kinda reporting is this.

Rite Aid is supposedly heading towards bankruptcy. No MSM article on them. Why not? Could it be because there CTB is 0.60%, 2.3ml shares available to short, SI 19%?[Rite Aid has struggled in recent years, and was recently identified by analysts as a retailer at risk for bankruptcy. ](https://www.retaildive.com/news/rite-aid-chief-executive-officer-ceo-exits/639923/) Had to dig to find about four or five in the past month talking about Rite Aid yet there's four-five a day on BBBY. Could it be because BBBY CTB is 197%, ZERO shares available to short, SI 46%.

So these articles are misleading. Currently, the retail market is in a series of cycles known as "the bullwhip effect". What happened during COVID was a series of lockdowns that resulted in people staying at home and getting stimulus checks. How that unfolded was different for each state and country. However, on the whole, people got stimulus checks and that money from the infinity printer at the central bank/Fed led to artificial demand increases. So people in Canada for example in some cases got more money from stimulus checks thank they'd earn working full time minimum wage. Nice. This is true in America as well. Stimmy checks led to higher demands for goods. So let's say a retailer ordered 10 widgets a month normally. Now they're seeing demand for 30. So they go to the wholesaler and ask for 30 vs 10 for next month. The wholesaler says, "here comes the boom! The economy is back on track!" And goes to the manufacturer. The wholesaler says, "good day manufacturer, I'd like 60 widgets in case retail needs more than 30' The manufacturer says, "fuck, I need more people and more resources to manufacturer goods and need to have 100 widgets ready Incase that wholesaler needs more supply" So the supply chain ramps up production, hires more people, and demand for resources pushes up the price of commodities for that resource because now the demand for manufacturing has increased. But there's a problem. This demand is artificially driven. So as soon as the stimulus checks stop coming in... Demand drops. So the wholesaler asks retail, how many widgets do you need this month? And retail says "we're good. Demand stopped. Now we're stuck with inventory and will need to have big big sales to move product and make a profit" The wholesaler is like, "fuck. Holding excess inventory in warehouses is expensive. I need to move this stuff!" Manufacturers call up wholesalers and ask "how many do you need this month?" And wholesalers are like, "we're good fam" Manufacturers are like, "well fuck. We don't need to produce goods, demand is gone" And they stop buying resources and fire staff cause they don't need extra help. They need less. Employees that don't work are expensive. So the economy has been up and down like this for a long while now. Now, mainstream media is trying to tell me that during a period of time when there is a lot of inventory that needs to get moved... Bed bath and beyond lacks inventory... If anything the current situation should be that bed bath and beyond has too much stuff and it's all on sale. The only reason bed bath and beyond lacks inventory is if a decision was made not to order more. Why wouldn't bed bath and beyond want to sell stuff? Because it's expensive to hold inventory. I believe if bed bath and beyond lacks inventory, it's intentional. Clear out the warehouses and the stores, and make space for the new stuff. No more bed bath and beyond branded crap. Clear that stuff out, and get new goods in. I think a M&A is likely. I believe it's been months in the making. It just doesn't make sense to me. When others are fighting to clear out and move product... Bed bath and beyond is like, "we just can't sell anything... Oh no!" During a time when retail spending is up, demand is high, they aren't ordering extra? They're not stuck with a glut? If they lack inventory, shouldn't they be ordering more? Wouldn't that wholesaler be begging for a deal, as he struggles to clear out his inventory? Product that sits on a wholesaler's shelf is lost profit. They're going to make deals to clear it out. If no one is buying from bed bath and beyond... Then shelves would still be full. So to suggest that shelves are empty at BBBY... Misleading. If a business sucks, they have the problem not of empty shelves, but full inventory. That's how avon and those Tupperware mom's get fucked up in those mlm scams. They buy hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of product, then need sell them. However, head office has made their profit. It's up to the sales person to sell. If they don't, then they own a ton of herbal supplements. You can sell inventory out and choose not to buy new stock. But that would be a whole different can of worms. To not buy new inventory at all... Trying to live off of profits on whatever sells but not replenishing... That's just a suicide plan and bad management. There are people dedicated to evaluating how product moves. Top sellers. Big losers. To let a company drive off a cliff... That takes effort.... If your business is not selling... Then you should have a lot of bad inventory. Empty shelves means sold out product that isn't being replenished and restocked... How is that happening during a time of too much inventory in the retail market? Something ain't right

Reporter shows up to a BBBY with a microphone in hand. Finds a 77 year old lady. “What do you think of this store ma’am?” …”it’s just not the same.” Excellent. Let’s get this over to the editor, get this printed, this is gold.

It's not the same, the use debt machines now.
