Ron describes how food was shipped and stored 40 years ago, as compared to the digital systems and greater volumes he currently deals with. Ron has insight into everything to do with ordering, stocking, shipping, and maintaining a large city grocery store.
Bryndis and Ron discuss why stores change stock that they hold based on their locations, how computers play a part in shelf management, and the psychology of where things are placed in-store. Ron explains why prices increase when logistics becomes limited or more challenging. He shares stories from his lengthy career that include how staffing has changed and why he enjoys being in the same career for a long time when it comes to interacting with loyal customers.
