Or the box got stabbed with a forklift, bent a bunch of the pieces, and they are piled in the back somewhere, and the assistant manager handling it no longer works there.
Or the customer returned it because it was damaged, so now it is in inventory again.
Or, inventory is batched processes, so it will take at least a few hours before inventory is current.
- ska 5y agoOr some customer moved the boxes behind other product boxes, to "save it". Etc. etc. Inventory management is a whole industry of it's own for a reason.
- drewzero1 5y agoOr the customer emptied a large (inexpensive) package and hid a smaller (more valuable) item inside, leaving the unwitting cashier to scan the larger package at checkout and now counts for both items are off. Or the vendor discontinued the item and replaced it with a slightly different one, but they both got put in under the same stock number and are hanging on the same hook. No matter how much we try to perfect the digital world, the real world will always be messy, and interfaces between the two will always be difficult.
