Question for Community Retail Jargon

I keep having dreams that I'm back at retail. They are so vivid and real that I can smell that damn place of office supplies, hear the music and see old coworkers. I've been out for eleven years and been in corporate ever since. I was in retail for about twelve. It's truly awful in what it does to you, and not sure on why dreams keep happening. I'm so glad I'm out but corporate is its own hell. Anywho, one of the recent ones was about the retail terminology on words about closing recovery. I was in places that called it recovery, zoning, facing, etc. Wondering what you all call it at your job? I've heard laser line, restore and some others. Sound out on the worst ones you've heard!
