Hrmmmm - I'm a little miffed I didn't get a call (I could have used
some 6078's) but I don't agree with this. Just think about it. They
know the stuff is coming in. They call two people who agree to buy
all of some items. Those items come in and are immediately shipped
out to those people. Nobody is paid to unpack them, sort them, put
some on the shelf and some in the back room, nothing. They come in,
they go out. The transaction is recorded at their leisure, involving
no employee time that could be used to interact with walk-in
customers.
Seems like a win-win situation to me. The store's job is to move
product - they moved it with minimal effort.
