When I worked in a supermarket in the late 90's, we did have a pretty expansive back room filled with stuff that had been taken off trucks but not stocked on shelves. However, it was next to impossible for a front-end person to actually get to any of the products - they were stacked on pallets 3 to 5 rows high and about 5 rows deep with no clearance between them. Occasionally someone would ask me if something was in the back, but unless it was in the dairy fridge, or a case of it was actually sitting on a cart in the hallway, I'd tell them I couldn't find it.
