I feel this lol. Reminds me of my time as a ladies shoe sales person.

scans item, checks size and color combos in stock in 3 seconds

To self: well it says one on hand and 3 in transit, so we will have some more in the next 2 weeks but that one on hand will never ever be found assumung it wasn’t stolen

To customer: maybe, let me go check the back!

pulls out phone for a few minutes

comes back out after glancing through the only stack of shirts just to be sure

Sorry, I checked everywhere and can’t seem to find it, but we might have some coming on a truck soon!

Lpt: even large clothing chains don’t just carry tons of extra sizes of random clothing item. If it’s a special event, like sports shirts or musicians on a tour, they MIGHT have been sent a ton and only have a few out. But that random [BRANDNAME] high tech moisture wicking Ai infused recycled coconut husk shapewear in Heather gray dark with a logo on the lapel and NOT on the chest almost certainly will not be sitting anywhere but the shelf/hanger you see on the sales floor.

Way back when I got a complaint for saying “I’ll check the back, don’t wait for me”

You know, fuck it. If you let me pack a few of the large totes I have with gear I’ll straight up colonize the back rooms. Beats the world we live in now…
