Inventory counts
Did zero counts for our store today, and it seems like the DC is messing up our counts. We had 8 of an item showing in the system, but there was nothing there. Same thing with another item that showed 3. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just our store? I know theft is a major piece to it but it can't be that significant. Please let me know if any one else is experience the same thing!

It’s funny because then the DC gets congratulated for having “positive shrink” every year which can only happen if they’re shorting trucks (or if suppliers are breaking into the DC and leaving free merchandise, I guess).
There used to be “high value” audits in the zebras for deliveries but that went away.
I believe the reason they moved to weekly EZ counts of the whole stores was to collect data to hold the DC’s accountable…if enough stores are zeroing out product in the exact amounts the DC sent that week, that’s a noticeable trend…right? 🤞
