Co-manager pulled 13 pallets out of the freezer. Two of them were that day's bakery order, which is actually retrieved and put away every day. The remaining 11 belonged to meat department. It's not holiday stuff like turkeys either. There's hardly any room for anything else. Stuff just keeps getting ordered but it's not being put out.
Sounds like one of our prior bakery leads. Instead of going into the freezer to find the product they had on hand she instead just ordered more of it. When they deep cleaned the freezer they found she had thousands of dollars of shrink because of that behavior decision. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Eventually the shrink will begin to tally to high volumes and that's when the company will notice. That's how the bakery manager I talked about eventually got fired for thousands of dollars of shirnk. She was also fudging the numbers in the counts to make it look "realistic".
Our stores freezers and coolers are TOO small. Almost every shift if I don't go in and organize the pallets that are in the Meat cooler I have to do after the delivery for that day is gone. I work in Grocery. I do it b/c there's only two other people in the entire story who give a F in keeping things organized.
Freezer: Clicklist is trained by some retard who tells them to "pull out whatever to find the item and leave it. Dollies and carts pulled out of how they are organized to sit. I don't care what that lead in that dept says. PUT THE STUFF BACK WHERE THEY FIND IT.

There is no excuse for that. You put stuff out, and if you don't have enough remaining to get you through the next delivery date, you order it. I'm the baker at my store and I'm responsible for ordering my product. I also do my own breakout. We get a frozen order in 6 days a week. The upload time is 2:00 AM. It comes in the following evening and gets brought up the next day. So if I order something on Sunday, it gets uploaded at 2:00 AM Monday morning, gets delivered Monday night, and gets put away Tuesday sometime between 9 and 11 AM. So that's a two day lag time (3 days if you count the non-delivery day). So if I have 2 days worth of something after I get done breaking it out, I don't order it. I don't need to do any counts or scans to tell me that. Those are completely useless and a complete waste of time. The only counts that matter are when the product comes in the store and when it goes out. There's no reason to count the same stuff over and over again except to maybe give some corporate dimwit something to do. There's no common sense in the way things are done anymore.

I hate when they cut open the side of a box to get something. I saw a pile of frozen novelties (ice cream bars, popsicles, etc.) on the floor in the freezer because somebody need something from the bottom. You can't be in so much of a hurry that you can't unstack items to get to what you need and then re-stack everything making sure the box you just opened is on top now.

Update: It may not be meat department's fault. We recently got a couple new co-managers. The problem started shortly after they arrived. I work in bakery and we suddenly started getting huge frozen orders. They were always over 120 pieces. We get a frozen order 6 days a week. A normal order is half that size. The bakery manager has a theory that one of the new co-managers (we know which one it is) is scanning holes and ordering product without checking to see if the product was in stock. The meat department manager came to the same conclusion about the meat department. We're trying to figure out if there's a way to know who ordered what product. You used to be able to go on ISP and see the last person to upload an order, but that doesn't mean that they were the one who ordered the product in question. You have to know who was signed into the Zebra when the item was ordered.
