What happened
Delivery routes in Salalah run with spare capacity in the evening windows. Those same stores are holding short-dated fresh that will be marked down or disposed of. The two facts sit in different systems and have never been read together.
Why it matters
A short-dated basket riding a slot that is already going costs almost nothing incremental. It converts disposal cost into revenue, fills a slot that was already paid for, and reaches a customer who was not planning to shop.
Already done
Spare slot capacity is matched against short-dated stock per store, per window, with the basket assembled from what is actually there.

Short-dated baskets are offered against slots already scheduled from Salalah
If declined
Slots keep leaving with spare capacity and the stock keeps going to markdown or disposal
Question
It is not settled whether a short-dated basket can carry a guarantee
Express, TCAWhat happened
The basket is short-dated by definition. Whether it falls under the standard returns and satisfaction policy, a modified one, or none, has not been decided.
Why it matters
Customers will ask, and the agent needs an answer that is the same every time in every market. Getting this wrong at volume creates a refund pattern that quietly removes the margin the whole idea recovered.
Already done
The offer is drafted with the policy line left blank rather than filled with a plausible assumption.

Wadi KabirWhat happened
Demand existed at Wadi Kabir for more short-dated baskets than the scheduled slots could carry. Adding a run would have cleared the rest.
Why it matters
A van added to clear discounted stock costs more than the stock recovers, every time. The whole idea only works because the capacity is already paid for, and the moment it needs its own logistics it stops being a recovery and becomes a loss.
Already done
Offers are capped to existing slot capacity. The remainder goes to markdown and then to donation.
Exposure
Not a revenue lineA van added to clear discounted stock costs more than the stock recovers, every time, which turns a recovery into a subsidised loss.Offers capped to existing slot capacity
