Mix

Mix

n. When written on a CASE in MARKER and circled, a STOCK CLERK'S notation meaning more than one ITEM is in the CASE so marked. Usually done as an effort to conserve space on the CART. See also CASE NOTATIONS.

NOTE:

Unless you Mix ITEMS of totally different colors, shapes or sizes, do something to show where one ITEM ends and the next begins. E.g., put dividers of scrap CARDBOARD between them, turn jars of the other flavor on their head, etc.

Don't make us read every LABEL!

“Mus-ick!”

“Mus-ick!”

n. What you hear over the STORE PA when no other announcement is being made.

NOTE: Canned STORE music is pretty hideous, and gets somewhat monotonous after the first year or so. Depending on your seniority, one of the fringe benefits of working NIGHTS is that (via boom box or iPod) you may get to listen to your own music! The PA is still there, but you can crank up your own volume, just so long as you keep an ear tuned to the CREW CHIEF'S PA call for BREAKS and lunch.

No such luck for DAY CREW, who has to be continually responsive to CUSTOMER traffic in the AISLES.

Some folks have asked if perhaps I misspelled this entry, and really intended to use the term “Muzak.” Nope.
