Whole Foods employees need a safe place to cry when they are told what to do and don’t understand that food spoils...
Lol.
It is also likely that new inventory controls limit how often food can disappear from store shelves and back storage areas and end up in the employee break room.
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.
