      Don't fucking ask if we have it in the back.

      If we had it in the back, it would be out in the front.

        Oracle’s Larry Ellison can fly a plane, play the guitar and blow smoke rings…. All at the same time.

              Because the goal is to either have you buy it from the site and they'll find it and ship it, or to get you physically into the store. They don't care which, either are seen as a win.

                    I used to work at a company that had a side-hustle and received large shipments of boxes from China containing the front half and the back half of electronic multimeters. One employee would sit there all day, put the 2 halves together, put 2 screws into it, then toss it in a clamshell pack proudly labeled with "ASSEMBLED IN THE USA" with a big-ass american flag.

                      Maybe. Does the plastic wrap have those little bubbles you can pop?

                        3 possibilities:

                        1. Shrink - item was lost or stolen.
                        2. The item was erroneously entered into the system during a delivery.
                        3. The item was not properly scanned out upon a sale. Maybe due to the barcode being replaced or entered into the system wrong so the item you bought wasn't what was actually "sold" according to the computer system.

                        The problem goes the other way, too. Sometimes the items aren't entered into the system at delivery, so it might say we have none when we literally just restocked it.

                        I spent a lot of time balancing the item counts to be accurate when there was not much else to do. It's pretty much entirely human error and people not doing what they should be doing.

                          TIL not to trust online availability (this happens way too often). Would calling beforehand actually help or just bother the employees more because they're busy and probably won't look?

                            Funnily enough even though I keep hearing this, I once worked at a grocery store and 9 times out of 10, we actually did have it in the back and didn't mind getting it for customers. Most of the time it was just items in shelves that we hadn't gotten around to restocking yet.

                            Although that was a rural store where most customers were just friendly retirees that didn't yell at you for the smallest things, so there was less... Hostility.

                                        Red Cross facilities frequently ignore federal regulations on the refrigeration of donor blood.

                                        You're probably not going to get a choice in the matter but if you ever need a transfusion you might want to consider asking for blood sourced from local blood banks or other organizations.

                                          I work for Squeaky Farms, and I'm done being silent about this. That "Genuine Animal Milk" they sell to our children? That's rat milk.
