Switched on the Truck

I really wished that I worked Fridays....
Because it seems like once the managers stopped scheduling me to work then....
Is when all our problems in the store started to happen.

This Friday was no exception.

Though, it wasn't totally my coworker's fault.
As they had no control over it.

You see, with Starsmet, multiple stores' supplies and orders are placed in the same truck.
So one truck may stop at two, three or even four stores to drop off different shipments.

And it just so happened....
That our Sister Store (the next Starsmet nearest to us.)
Gets their shipment before us.

And somehow or another.
The people there....
Took our fish shipment off the truck instead of theirs.

So when the truck got to us.
We had their shipment of fish.

I mean, there has been occasion where a box or two of fish gets left at the other store...I've known that to happen, and it's had to be sent to us.
But a whole shipment?!

And apparently nobody noticed anything was wrong....
Until my coworkers started pulling fish out of the boxes....that we don't sell.

As each Starsmet sells slightly different fish. -I'm guessing it's because certain kinds of fish sell more successfully in some areas than others.
We all have a majority of the same fish, but there are always a handful of differences. *shakes head*

In any case.
Since the shipment was already majorily placed in the their tanks...
We couldn't really just pack the fish back up and send them to the correct store.

No what ended up needing to be done was that we had to transfer via computer our shipments to each other.
-As we had our correct paperwork, but the wrong fish pallet-
So one SKU at a time, we had to transfer the numbers between the stores, so when we would need to go through and count the fish later on in the week, it would be correct.

Which meant, when I came in, that we had random fish....that had no tags.
So I had to go hunt down those tags so that we could actually sell our fish. *shakes head*

It didn't help the confusion at all, as we had one of our Greenies training on putting out the fish shipment....and she wasn't the best at paying attention to the tags on the fish. Which meant the wrong fish were placed in the wrong tanks.
Which can be a simple mistake to make I mean we sell "Dalmatian Mollies" and "Dalmatian Lyretail Mollies" So if you're not looking closely you could end up putting the wrong fish in the wrong tank.
Which she did.
*sighs*
Hopefully there isn't more chaos with the next shipment we get in....
