This can be on a sticky note, tape or piece of paper. When you have multiple employees it keeps them from repeating the same stocking and its a way for me to see that things are getting stocked. As we all know, merchandise does not sell sitting in the stockroom. I try to get the employees to stock each item weekly during the fall and 2 times a month during the off season. This also gets the employee to know where to find merchandise and keeps things organized. The other advantage is that you don't have employees wasting time doing what someone else did the day before.
