Grocery Re-stock
I work at a big store in The Netherlands and at the end of every advertisement week we have to make sure the shelves are almost empty so it will look like almost everything sold out and the products we sell are popular. In reality we still have a lot in the stockroom but this way people will buy it faster because:
1) it’s on sale
2) it’s almost sold out
3) it’s a popular product
4) they think the company as a whole is doing a great job.
It isn’t really a big secret but I thought it’s quite funny.
