Wholesale

I work for a company that is involved with wholesale. The point of wholesale is to provide consumers with the same materials and products for a lower cost. But there is a lot of negativity that goes with wholesale that many people don't realize. When a customer walks into a wholesale club they automatically become members. This is because you need a membership, much like a gym, to shop in these stores. The store is about 4000 square feet, completely overstocked with merchandise ripe for the pickin'. But the thing is that when you walk into these places, price and margin are low while the service aspect is expected to be high. This isn't always the case and many members become frustrated with the individuals who work at these establishments. It's not our fault we are understaffed, so be nice!
