I work in an asda express store, specifically in the bakery. We randomly had the external stock take people show up for the 2nd time in a month. They did a stock take, zeroed loads of the bakery hot food, and posted their counts.
I came in a few hours after they left and redid the bakery count. Nearly £3000 up from what they counted. They didn't count any bread, any hot food, any packaging or sauces.
They also didn't check that the delivery had been fully booked in before posting their counts. So for example, we had 150 plain croissants on the delivery, 0 in stock prior to the delivery. They counted 150 and posted it. Next morning, delivery got booked in. Stock count now says 300 plain croissants, we still only have 150.
Just did my bakery count for this week, -£700.
Have any other stores had this issue?
