I had a Summer job in a retail warehouse. One rule change that po'd everybody at first was that the tickets started to include a "remaining" number when it hit "5", and we had to stop and count the remaining stock to circle for okay, or strike and enter the count.

That meant that the checkout people had to collect those tickets, and a clerk to check through and make corrections to the online inventory system.

I'm guessing somebody else was auditing the discrepancy list to determine "why" the count was off.

also to make sure new goods were ordered despite false inventory numbers that said stuff was on the shelf when stuff WASN’T on the shelf ..
