A new policy at my store is that any items returned that are consumable or used on the body cannot be placed back on the shelves and are to be taken to salvage. Working in health and beauty care, this is pretty much everything in my area. This includes items that are still SEALED. For instance, if a customer returns a bottle of vitamins that is still unopened and sealed, we have to chuck it. Well today, I come in and find an overflowing bin of stuff behind guest services for me to take to salvage. Someone returned...30 bottles of shampoo. 30. And while none of them were used, I still was ordered to bring them to salvage. So I load everything in my cart and bring them back there. When I finally get back onto the floor, I enter the shampoo aisle to start straightening the shelves when I notice that the entire shelf of shampoo and conditioner that is on sale is empty. The bottles that I brought to salvage were the ones on sale. Instead of using them to stock the shelves, I had been made to toss them. So now everybody's coming up to me asking for the shampoo that's on sale. Grrr. One person buying 30 bottles of shampoo is just wrong anyway. No wonder the damn shelves were bare. How about setting some limits??
It really pisses me off that we don't have people stocking on the floor in my area during the day anymore. They expect me to straighten all the aisles and stock everything that's on sale. And when I come in, everything that's on sale is gone. I don't have time to play frickin' stocker when I've got an entire area to clean (which takes my entire shift to complete). God, it burns me up. I get so sick of coming in and the first thing I hear is "do you have any more of the buy one get one deordorant?" and then another person comes up at the same time "do you have more of the 10 for 10 toothpaste in the back?" ARRGH!
