[M] This platter is missing its price tag and bar code. I'll just scan in the price tag of something else that's the same price.

[W] Don't do that. Then the inventory won't reflect this sale accurately and the counts will be off.

[W] I didn't realize that such accuracy was so crucial.

 

[M] The computer says we have three of these bed­spreads left. Can you go to the stockroom and verify that, please?

[W] If the computer says we have three, why would there be any discrepancy?

[M] Sometimes there are adjustments to the inventory and I don't want to tell this lady we have a bed­spread if we are out of stock.

 

[M] Counting everything in the stockroom by hand is so tedious. I can't believe we are doing this.

[W] It's dull and dirty, but very important. The store is liable for every product in here, so the count must be accurate.

[M]  Isn't the computer's running total accurate enough?

 

[M]   Every time you make a sale, the computer subtracts the product from the inventory.

[W] I'm glad that's an automatic process.

[M] Twice a year, we close the store to do a physical count. We try not to disturb our customers any more often than that.
