From the counter to the cash register: 7 mistakes that make Belgorod stores every day

Walking past the shelves in the supermarket, we may not even realize that we are faced with gross violations. Which of them are most common?

1. Different discounts and price tags depending on the cash register

Most often this is due to incorrect settings. To avoid this, the store needs to develop an algorithm that would change the data at all cash desks, not at individual ones. And it's important to keep a change log. Another way to avoid this is to ban employees from making any changes to their product cards.

2. Application of tobacco discounts

This happens due to automatic application of the loyalty program, discounts, manual price changes or improper rounding of the check. The solution is to completely exclude such products from all loyalty programs.

3. Expired shelf life

Under no circumstances should expired products be sold. If this happens, it shows that the store does not control inventory. To avoid this, the seller must set clear periods when he will inspect the products.

4. Packaging at pack or pack price at pack price

This is due to incorrect labeling of the group and unit of goods. The solution is to scan the product correctly.

5. Zero or unreasonably low price

This happens due to erroneous settings of discounts and bonuses. The store needs to properly configure inventory software and possibly even remove some products from discount mechanisms. Employees should also be prohibited from manually counting discounts.

6. One product breaks through like another

There's an error in product labeling. The solution is to remove manual input and check product cards.

7. Lack of registration by product group

If any of them are absent in the GIS MT - a violation. An organization or individual entrepreneur needs to check the registration of each group of goods in the system, as well as the places in which they are sold. When changing the range, the store is obliged to change the data in the database.
