help whats help you have had exactly one more hour of help than i did in the last 3 weeks yet consumables is what will drive our customers in

jason, did you forget that I manage Pets too?  For those of you who don't know, Pets is considered a consumable dept.  And, as mgmt tells us all too often, consumables run the store/pay the bills.  Oh, so that's why I only have one guy, who I never see.  It all makes sense now.

I should have told you all, that the next day I was given a guy to help me for several hours.  He helped me work through 11 pallets, which reduced my count by 3.  I was hoping for more, but it was good to go through so much stuff.

The next day, my co-mgr told me that he wants me to count everything in my backroom, and then on the sales floor, so I can get my onhands right.  This is basically what we call a list count; although normally that entails every item in the dept.  I think we should count what we have a lot of; that would save time.

Anyway, I need to talk to him about what to scan, and to point out AGAIN that I am swamped with GO items.

I did get a stackbase over by L&G  (too bad most of my dept, Pets, isn't there).  I made a good looking display of bagged food and dog treats.  The MM walked by as I was putting it together, and he spoke to me.  I almost fainted.
