So how does supermarket stock control work?


Most seem to do regular shelf stock checks presumably to see if what the
computer says they have hasn't been spirited away.


I've always assumed that they used what the sell at the till points as that goes direct to the ordering sections, there's little need to count stolen stuff as that is a relatively small amount.



Theft possibly depends on the product. I have seen people picking items
off the shelves, eating it while still walking around the isles and then
discarding the wrapper before getting to the tills. Giving kids a packet
of sweets to eat whilst shopping seems to be common.
