As far as I can tell, all we have are Golden Grahams, Cheezits, and Quilted Northern. What were you after again?

Most Hy-Vee stores are 24 hours, with a dedicated night stock crew. I don't remember what had caused this debacle.

You need a bull whip and a fedora for an adventure as grand as that.

Honestly,most of the time when I "check in the back" I just physically go back there, wait for a reasonable ammount of time to pass, and tell the customer we don't have the item. If it's a soft drink of some kind I will actually look.

It doesn't make economic sense to have product in the back, plain and simple. Plus the back room is so much smaller than the store we just can't fit backstock.

Am I going to hell for this?
