Wired's Weeekend

wired529 · 10-23-2006

I am proud to announce, and quite hung over as a result, that after initial inventory results were printed out, we ended up with $39,000 shrinkage on $1.5 million in inventory, and $12 million in sales. Boy did the rum flow freely last night

Please define shrinkage....

Stolen stuff!

And unless you are George Costanza, shrinkage is good if you are in retail.

(at first I thought you meant New Brunswick

Now the shrinkage comment makes more sense...I was wondering how people could shoplift flooring.

Well, you won't get a sale off us, we just replaced every inch of flooring in our house last spring! And I am SO done buying anything from Home Depot/HH/Rona etc.

We do need some tall baseboards still though, next spring once it gets warm enough to paint them in our garage.

We might have to talk.
