The former chairman of the largest electrical retailer in Britain once famously said at an AGM, no less. That the company's retail staff were the company's biggest liability !
It didn't go down too well.
Stock-take time is a nightmare for most retailers. Most stores are given a 'margin of error' Usually a percentage to be + or - of a certain target.
Managers sweat as independent counters go through their shopfloor and stock areas counting everything !
Some company's have a policy that if you fail in your 'stock loss' targets - That's stock damaged or stolen. They fire the manager.

it happens alot
once we got a box of a dozen donuts at walmart and the girl was charging us the full price per each individual donut .. so we told her that the price for a dozen was different.. so then she rang up twelve dozen.. it was like 52$ 🙄
Grocery stores keep track of the dollar amount of the product, not how much of each product they should have on hand.

@AcidBurn: so... the question should have been "is the revenue they collected more or less than the amount they predicted based on how much they spent wholesale"?
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: Honestly, nobody will ever find out about that mistake occured. For every plus mistake there is also a minus mistake or theft. Stores also end up throwing away a lot of product that's damaged or out dated.

Yup...that is why they do a physical inventory. And the scanning mess goes both ways. 😨
