Wrong Shipment

So a unique thing about work (Idk if other pet stores do this or not actually so it may not be unique) is that when it comes to our rodents -hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, chinchillas etc. 

Each store location will only carry one gender. 
So one store will only carry boy rodents. (mine) 
And another will only carry girl rodents. (our sister store up the way) 
Etc.

So that we can make sure that no breeding happens within our stores and that customers can be certain of which gender they bought. 

However....
Mistakes do happen on occasion.

Where our supplier accidentally sends the wrong gender to the store. 

Which is what happened to one of our sister stores in the next valley over.
They carry only females, 

But apparently, when their animal shipment was delivered a couple of days ago....
They ended up with some males.
Which they can't sell in their store because they only carry girls. 

And even though they had closer stores in their valley than us....
For some reason they called us....

Having not handled the call directly (my manager took it) I can only guess that a) they'd tried the other stores in their valley first and then called us. 
Or b) because they know that our store gets animals before theirs (as the supplier moves south to north in their deliveries) they figured they'd check in with our store first and see if we'd ended up accidentally getting females. 

We hadn't. We'd gotten boys. 

But thankfully we can do a store to store transfer -meaning they go into the system and transfer the inventory of an item (or animals in this case) from their store into our store. 

So apparently sometime today...or maybe tomorrow...
We're going to end up with 12 more hamsters. 
Of the Longhaired and Shorthaired Syrian variety. 

Which I don't mind much. ^^;; lol. I love the Syrians.
:S I just hope we can sell enough of the rodents this weekend that we can bring the new arrivals out onto the floor sooner rather than later.
