Inventory chaos

Welp, I came home from work, ate something and then went to bed. I fell asleep and still heard the sound of the markdown machine that I used to make 10+ over flowing carts and grey shelves of make tags. Hardly any no tickets, just MAKE TAGS!

See our printers are so old that when you print tickets the alignment goes out of whack and you end up with half the barcode missing. So you have to realign your tickets after you print 10 or so tags to get the entire bar code. We need new printers. Our area manager says we need to clean them which we do all the time. The cleaning only ensures that the printers are printing the tickets, it doesn't help with the alignment at all.

After this escapade I can honestly understand as to why we lost so many good managers and assistant managers. We currently have a great store manager and assistant manager, I pray every day that we don't ever loose them due to the stress that tends to live in the store.

They did an excellent job during this inventory. They were on the ball making sure everything was done and best of all they understand about the printer mishap that we deal with because they used the printers themselves and experienced it first hand!

There is no photo for this because I really don't want any reminders of it. So I'm using a random photo of Dean. His words express how I feel about Inventory to a T!
