3DHS / country vs. city
« on: January 10, 2007, 02:22:56 PM »
a secretary brought in a bag of pecans
and it sat there for days
it turns out nobody know how to open them.
only people like me who lived in farms knows how.
I just crush them in my hands.
has anyone here encounter these little differences between city & country people?

walmart is screwed if china can`t make shipment on time
walmart`s system has a extremely small margin for error.
they even tell homeland security to back off inspecting their import supplies because it`ll cost them money on delays.
I think that means walmart is bigger than our government.

uhm
I thought it was opposite.
also there are other factors that would slow down jobs going overseas.
ever notice in all the talks about outsourcing no one ever mention quality .
I don`t recall anyone saying better quality.
in pretty much in all fields involved the outsource is less experienced than the u.s.worker
espeacially technology.
remember most of these jobs did not exist in these countries in any large capacity till less than a decade ago.
it`s hard enough train people in the U.S. .
can you imagine getting people overseas up to speed.
it`s not exactly happening.
ILM a fews years ago hired a bunch of animators overseas.
it was one giant waste of money.
none of these guys are experienced enough to do the job.
the only plus side is all this outsourcing is increasing the technology of these countries.
in 5 to 10 years we will have serious competition.
isn`t that the whole point of outsourcing?
notice japan don`t really outsource except to the U.S.
they don`t fear we`ll pirate their tech.

unlike a calculator your still doing the math.

i kinda doubt they`ll be able to adjust price to handle oakland.
it`s a semi-ghost town so people there just don`t have alot of money
the five finger discount is just too common.

wow didn`t expect it to grow this big.
about ups
the only problem is even though it`s 4 hrs. you still need breaks for bathrooms.
about the security stickers
on magazines I`ll refuse to buy them if it has them unless it`s easy to remove
collectors like me needs them intact and those stickers devalues them.
also if it`s hidden in the books it may cause future problems.
I got detained at a compusa because one of those strips from another store was holding me up.
I had the yank that strip and give it to the guard to toss.
on inventory shrinkage
there`s a walmart in oakland now,the locals just say we`ll miss it when it`ll closes in a few years.
alot of business are gone in oakland because of inventory shrinkange.

but if the shift change is frequent productivity will go down.
customers don`t like sluggish cashiers or non-responsive customer service.
but i wonder do computers factor in events like superbowl to know when surges are going to happen.
also local event like a potluck block party could overwhelm individual stores

i understand why walmart does this.
everything about walmart is budgeted to the penny.
but if I`m in a long line I tend to lighten my purchases and judging from all the things I see other people leave behind.
I`m not alone in this behaviour.
customers don`t have all day to buy stuff.
very few want to spend it waiting in line.
also that system is extremely vulnerable to compertition.
since it takes 3 weeks ti sink in target can gut walmart with night specials
since any emergency staffing will more likely be overtime.

unless they are using something out of numb3rs to predict consumers patterns
they will definately get some staffing shortage.
for this to work they need per diem staffing to meet sudden demand shifts.
also continual shift changes will make consumers to buy less product.
due to the staffing becoming sluggish from the changing hours.
I`ve seen this happen in security alot.
