and the "register" fiddly system
isn't even the FUNNY one
the TUBES of Golden acrylics
they HAVE to be put
in the RACKS
in FIFO*
* first in first out which is pretty standard
HOWEVER
this means that
ANY time you restock them
EVERY tube of paint has to be pulled
OUT
and set on the little ledge
in a way
that you'll remember
to put them BACK
in the RIGHT order
NOW I get this
BUT it is not as easy to accomplish
if there are customers
or ANYTHING going on
the extra like BACK STOCK paint
has to be alphabetical underneath
& I fully support
the alphabetical thing
because otherwise it's hard to find
when you need it
BUT
they want the date and price
ON THE BOX
NOT on the individual TUBES
which MEANS
they HAVE to be priced when they are PUT OUT
which TEDIOUS-es the process up nicely
BUT WAIT
EVERY TUBE
has the price sticker
SCRAPED OFF
EVERY YEAR
& re-stickered when the PRICE changes
SO
there is NO WAY
to actually tell
HOW old
the paint is
&
APPARENTLY I've been doing it
WRONG
because when they get priced
TO PUT OUT
I'm supposed to be
CHANGING the DATE
FOR EACH ONE
so it MATCHES the BOX
SO why not just price them individually
WHEN they COME in
WELL you might have to scape it off
THIS system is
AS FAR as I'm concerned
SO BROKEN
as to be
ROTF laugh-crying
it's FUNCTIONAL value
is ZERO
and the explanation of the
ARCANE importance
is SO GOOD
that there are
OVER a YEAR LATER
PROBABLY still PIECES
that I STILL don't have
I used to make WHOEVER put the order away
ALPHABETIZE the coffee & syrup
& I always got PUSH BACK
BECAUSE
I was all LIKE efficiency
AND they were like
TAKES LONGER
& I'm LIKE
YES, but
it takes longer to put AWAY
when you have TIME
when you are
NEEDING to FIND something
it is FAST
THAT is when the TIME matters
YOU'RE NOT getting through
60-80 customers a half hour
if you're spending 45 seconds
LOOKING for sh*t
EVERY time you need it
SO I'm not AGAINST
SYSTEMS
BUT
FIDDLY
not so much
