The shift that was a full-on scavenger hunt
Ever have a shift where you feel like you spent most of your time searching for things? That was me today. Came in to do my usual zoning, but we were missing a whole pallet of overstock. Looked in the backroom—nothing. Checked the dock—gone. No paperwork, no stickers, no idea where it went.
Then, I get pulled to the front because no one can find register tape. Go on a store-wide hunt. Found exactly one roll. Restock was “on the truck,” but guess what? The truck was late. Spent another half hour looking for a working handheld because the first three were dead, one had a cracked screen, and the other wouldn’t connect to the Wi-Fi.
By the time I finally got back to my aisle, I was behind, tired, and still missing the original freight. Turned out the missing pallet was in the wrong section the whole time. Perfect. Some shifts you don’t work—you just search.
