    We have an annual contest to see who spots the first Xmas display. So far, the earliest has been mid-September.

    Toss-up between, Costco, ACE Hardware, and Daiso.

    Halloween stuff in back. Bets on this being a picture from fall’s past, and not summer 2024?

    This photo was taken by me @ 1:13pm today.

    It’s still June.

    They may be preparing for a remodel, in which many of the shelves get torn out and replaced with new ones. They don't want to shut down the store to do it and need a lot of storage space to hold shelving while they replace units one at a time over night. So already clearance stuff gets clearanced harder to get it out of the way.

    This has been brought to you by your surly neighborhood shelving guy.

    My GF, who likes to make a lot of handmade gifts, says she understands craft stores like Hobby Lobby (which this is) putting put stuff out early, since other crafters are probably starting their projects around this time and might need a few months to get them ready.

    But this shit better not cross over into regular retail stores.

    In-character misdirection from the Grinch.

    There is nothing on that seasonal display barge worth 150 dollary-doos. Or is there? What year is it and what's the inflation rate?

    I'm also mildly concerned about the handcuffs in the top-shelf plastic bin.

    She makes millions in royalties every year, somehow I suspect that she doesn't even hear it since she has the money to have absolutely everything delivered. Why would she go to a store?

    I honestly didn't mind when stores sell Christmas stuff early. Some people like to plan things out. What bugs me is when they put up their own decorations early or start playing Christmas music.

    Oftentimes the stuff goes out on the floor early because big box store don’t have much of a back room. So when the holiday decor boat from China docks, that stuff goes right on the floor asap.

    Some stores seasonal product timing is heavily dependent on shipping and logistics timing.

    This looks like the discount and out of season pile at the back of the store. Note the Halloween decorations in the background.

    It’s Hobby Lobby so there are Halloween and Christmas decorations up right now even if it’s June. It’s like they always start holiday decor 6 months in advance of the actual holiday.

    It was probably taking up valuable warehouse space.
