Out of date again

I saw this in-store calendar last year, and it was out of date then. Well, 10 days into the new month the old calendar is still up.

I could perhaps understand this shortcoming if this was an especially busy time of year, but this is the end of February. When I worked in retail our sales for the entire month of February was equal to a single Saturday in December.

Anyone managing a retail store must work to keep things up to date. There are a million details in retail, and once things start to slip it is a swift route to closing the doors for good.
