I've worked retail a few times, and I always just went and stood in the back for awhile, maybe took a shit, had a smoke, and then came back to tell them we still don't have it. The best were the fucking clowns at home depot. My guy, you are in the fucking warehouse, there is no other storage. Luckily, at that home depot, there was an unsecured security door on the receiving area you could just pop out back and have smoke at.
You mean the clowns who used the app you tell them to use because none of you even know where things are anymore, to be told there's 562 in the store, but there's none on the shelf, but if we pester enough managers eventually, someone will get the lift and bring the box down that's been right there the whole time? Those clowns? Cus Home Depot customer service has been shit since they stopped hiring actual trade professionals who know what they're doing. You HAVE to be an annoying asshole or you'll never get anything there anymore. I've literally had associates tell me "we're out of stock" and I point up and go "what about those boxes right there??" followed by "oh, let me see if I can find someone allowed to use the ladder".
Home Depot gets the customers they deserve for the "service" they now provide.
Bravo! This is basically my experience in Canada as well.
