For all the nay-sayers and doubting Thomasa's who are basing your thoughts on what you heard from your local stores, or even corporate contacts: Remember that the little guys down on the bottom of the chain are the last to know, and may not even know what we have learned today. This information is just released, and if they were in the loop at HQ, they weren't allowed to talk about it until the official release.
Our next tactic is to not let them regret the decision. They say this will be a trial? Spread the word to people who will patronize the new sections of the store. Remember, once the items come back to your stores, send in a word of thanks. There is a comment form on the corporate website. If they don't have the notions or quality you want, let them know that too. The war may not be over, but I think we may have won this battle.
