Since moving down to NC in 1974, I have heard a number of Southern/country sayings. My favorite one is: Sometimes it's better to beg for forgiveness, than to ask for permission. I think it applies to working at Wal*Mart very well.
Since I have ZERO flex space, I had devoted a back endcap to Clearance. I had to take down a mutil pricepoint end, which had been a stackbase display, sent by the HO, so I needed a back end. I only have that one, and it was getting overlaoded with dog apparel clearance stuff.
DING! We have a 28 foot sidecounter that is all Clearance. When I checked, about 16 feet was empty, and someone had started putting up new signing. The end next to action alley was empty, so I proceded to put two shopping carts full of my clearance there! It looked great. I made sure that every single item had a price on it, so that when it gets mixed up, no one will have to ask how much something is. I probably will never hear anything about it. If I do, I'll "beg" for forgiveness.
