said by thegeek:I was just in HD the other day buying some new switch plates. I was getting 3 white and 1 black. They are the same price. There was someone at the self checkout so I went to the cashier who wasn't waiting on anyone. She scanned the single black plate and punched a button to multiply it by 4. I took the opportunity to lecture her on how she just screwed up the inventory system by doing that. She still didn't seem to understand but she corrected it none the less.
I've done the same thing at the grocery store too when buying soda. I've had a cashier ring up 4 12-packs of Coke when I actually had 4 different Coke products. The cashiers never seem to understand. Poor management.
For pepsi or coke products the system inventory does not matter.
Pepsi and Coke have their own delivery trucks, their own delivery people, and their own inventory system.
When the delivery person shows up they inventory what did not sell and they restock the shelves how they want.
The stores inventory count means nothing. Just sayin.
You were right on with the face plates though.
