Standard?

So my manager has been doing the animal counts for the past little while...like three our four months now? So they've done them at least like idk 12 times? 

And yet there's still times where they don't remember things or misunderstand something or want to double check things because they're not confident of their skills.

Most of the time that struggle is that they don't always remember to count the animals that we have off the floor. Kinda an 'out of sight out of mind' sort of problem.
While other times it's just counting the goldfish and crickets because there's a ton of them.

Today though was a unique issue.

Because like....my manager has done this count at least a dozen times right?

And today she was like "I think we're missing all of these." And points to the listing for our 100 count mealworms.

Like it's normal for us to be missing a couple of them because we use those containers in the store to feed our reptiles. So to have 1-3 of them missing is understandable. 

And from how my manager had marked it it showed only one was missing.

But no. Apparently the manager was like "No no we don't have any of these!" 

No I'm pretty sure we do as I remembered seeing a bunch of them earlier. 

So I go to our fridge and sure enough there they all are.
"You mean these?"

"No. Because those don't say "standard" on them they say "large" instead!" 

Which yes....on the container of 100 it does say large mealworms.
But that's the standard size of the mealworms. We only carry 'large' or 'giant' versions. 

Again. My manager has been counting similar looking containers for the past three or four months.

And hadn't had an issue with it before.
My guess is that they actually read the words this time on the paper and then realized they didn't match the words on the container??

No idea.
They did admit to 'overthinking it' which yep. They did over think it.

Because we haven't ever carried any other type of 100 count mealworms. *shakes head*
