    Garbage. You want some empty boxes and plastic wrap?

    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?

          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.

          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.

                          There is almost never a time where there is anyone to answer the phone. I don't even think the customer service desk is in operation anymore.

                            lol enough staffing...

                            There was supposed to be 5 people in my department (Fresh) alone. Most days, I was all alone because nobody else came in, or they did but spent all their time in other departments (if they were working at all). But I was also in Fresh, at a Walmart with a super small fresh food section. There wasn't much to stock or zone, outside of milk. So a lot of the time, I just sat in the fridge or freezer on my phone, doing the counts, or in the training room learning the processes for every job in the store.

                              The oil company I used to work for patents green energy solutions and then shelves them so nobody can use them.

                              The mobile phone company I used to work for sent out a letter to staff asking them for ideas on how to make "free" profits since they could no longer implement roaming charges (roaming is 100 percent free for the company) .

                                And yet, when I ask, they usually have it in the back.
