mm,

Computerized inventory needs to be deigned to include theft and damage.
A while back I was at Lowes shopping for a 90 deg stove pipe elbow. There
was one mangled elbow on the shelf. There were 3 elbows listed in their
computer. The store clerk couldn't find the elbows and left the damaged
one on the shelf. A month later I looked again, out of curiosity, and they
still had one damaged elbow on the shelf.

Computerized inventory just needs to be updated in the HD where I live. I
was looking at a certain bookcase which was on display but none were on the
shelf because they were sold out. When the clerk checked the computerized
inventory, it showed that they had 3 of them. Nobody could have shoplifted
them because of the size and weight of the boxes.
