Store mgr needs that big money pressure washer ..no biggie. ASM wants that pallet of pavers to impress the wife..gotcha. WHOEVER HAS THE KEYS WINS. Who's that DS who always volunteers to work overnight? What's the payoff? Capishe?
Ours is always way off and management does not want to bill it out, they say they will find it later. Even in actual inventory they somehow find stuff we really don’t have.

When I worked Receiving many moons ago, was told that the RDC knows when a trailer will be audited at the store, which is why you get a perfect load sometimes.
I doubt they even understand the basics of inventory control. I know for a fact that some stores score over 2% shrink. Do the same thing over and over and get the same result.
My old DS who is now ASM would run cycle counts and have so much missing. He would furrow his brow and scratch his head..put on a good show. But by end of day he would somehow "find all the missing pallets". "Oh turns out they were sold and just an inventory glitch".
YEAH RIGHT BRO.
Let's not look at the fact that the garden closer's dad owns a landscaping company. And that garden gate stayed open all night. Somebody always gets paid.
Its call Cooking the Books

"Good faith" ? Too many shady characters being fast tracked to mgr..getting those KEYS. No damn oversight whatsoever.

There's no way to "pencil whip "anything from the rdc's. Shower doors are good faith unless on a crossdock PO.
A lot of it is good faith from rdc and they always blame the employees
Always ,they lie on the inventory .Keep there jobs & bonus .Amazing & strange corporate cant figure it out .Just had inventory last 2 weeks ,and missing all kinds of Appliances ,Shower doors ,etc . 3 showers door missing ,been missing since last year .Manager found them for inventory .People keep coming in to buy them from the website .They need to bring in a complete crew for another store ,too much conflict of interest .
Probably receiving pencil whipping
