      They don't care about us, no matter what they say. But maybe that's not much of a secret? ๐Ÿ˜‰

          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.

                    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.

                                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?
