That's not what this is about at all. It's about making sure things that are out are reordered and moving, and punishing stores that have historically made things look "presentable" by hiding the fact they are out of things and playing around with shelf space, thinking they know better than the people who set the shelves/corporate on what items actually sell. When you have people that monkey around with things like that, it defeats any work that analysts do to optimize ordering and sales.

That's not what this is about at all. It's about making sure things that are out are reordered and moving Those things aren't an issue if you avoid outages to begin with. And while this specific link may have been referring more specifically to the re-facing issue, there is a broader story in play here, including another, different article about Whole Foods, which is more about their general ability to keep items in stock. I'm addressing the broader issue in my post above.
