Endless Fixture Moves: Couldn't Fit a Gigantic Fixture in a Small Place

 This ties in with my Joe Macho's Experience with Retail Show on Spreaker. So here we go. I remember when I worked in retail I mean we had to climb in the corridors of the back of the truck to get one fixture out where we had to empty out the truck all to get to one fixture. And even sometimes where we had to go out in the blistering cold to pods or trucks outside for fixture moves. 

Now I understood every season needed a fixture move especially Christmas, but every damn day I saw a T Stand or searching for a 4-way rack where if I couldn't find one, I had to face an angry manager who said he couldn't find one. It was BS but I had to deal with it, but there was this time in particular where I nearly lost it on the manager,

but I had to bite my tongue. I mean she was really, pardon my language, but anal over fitting a fixture that would not fit. 

I mean this was a gigantic fixture the size of two holding shelves for Starbucks and this was JCP, and I had to fit them in between a small area where and wall where they spend millions of dollars to build would have gotten damaged. I mean where is the common sense of that. I mean here I have my manager hounding over my every move. I was ready to give her some lip where I was going to use an analogy that the DMV used to me your not gonna fit a pen in an area you can't fit a pen. 

So the manager got frustrated and yanked me from the project to call someone else. I guess she didn't want to take no for an answer and she had to have someone else doing her bidding for her. 

These are just some of my war stories working in retail. I have more.
