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.

But with self checkout the stock control can go mad and order a million quids
worth of brocolli and yet the shelves of 80% chocolate, macadamia nuts and
saffron will be empty.
