. . .and he posted this no-context photo from inside the store, calling it “suboptimal”:

Um, from the pink Valentine’s Day labels on the shelves, this looks like the store is preparing for Valentine’s Day:
America’s last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts shortage, which began in December, is certainly troubling. Glad I stocked up on 600-piece chocolate hearts last year 🙄 https://t.co/340r4sUaMO

How does Cramer think shelves get restocked?
Apparently Jim Creamer thinks seasonal retail shelves are reset by magical fairies overnight. https://t.co/mP45dQ1BmC

Over to you, CNBC, because this photo never should have been tweeted like this by one of your journos in a way that could tank the stock price:
This tweet from @jimcramer is pure bullshit and must be called out. This is a seasonal restocking. Either he knew that and lied, or his research and reporting is "suboptimal." https://t.co/CGlPW2AtR0

He’s got a point:
if I lied like this I'd get fired https://t.co/TQ3UHWbzDz
