US retail workers and shoppers: tell us about the impact of Trump’s tariffs
More than three in four store managers report more empty shelves since the Trump administration’s global tariff rollout, new poll suggests
US store managers are reporting more empty shelf space since the global tariff rollout by the Trump administration. More than three-quarters of managers in one recent survey reported an increase in bare shelves. And over half (51%) of the store managers surveyed by warehouse software company GreyOrange also reported that they have reduced their workforce in the last six months, which may affect the shopper experience. Whether you are a shopper or a retail worker, what, if anything, have you noticed in US stores in the wake of the tariffs? Are the shelves the same or emptier? What is missing? What else has changed?
