Banana Cart
Banana Cart
n. A decorative, vertically-oriented, wheeled CART with sling-style canvas shelves that cradle bananas, as well as other ITEMS such as banana-related gadgets or Vanilla Wafer cookies on an ordinary bottom SHELF.NOTE: Despite its location near the TOP of the breakfast cereal aisle, the Banana Cart is kept stocked by the PRODUCE DEPARTMENT. It's a P.O.S., or Point-Of-Sale strategy: many people like bananas with their cereal, so why not make it convenient and provide what they want where they want it?
Barricade
Barricade
n. A gate or other obstruction generally imposed as a SECURITY measure to control access to a particular area, and specifically intended to deter THEFT. —v. To put such obstructions into place.NOTE: Various Barricades are routinely put into place overnight, when fewer people are in the STORE. For instance, unused CHECKOUT REGISTER lanes have the usual “Closed” chain augmented by the addition of an empty SHOPPING CART, to discourage any who might consider ducking under and running out. In similar fashion, a number of CARTS nested together guide incoming and outgoing traffic through the area that's staffed. High-risk areas such as the cosmetics AISLE have their own movable, accordion-style gates that are put into position during the overnight hours.
BE
BE
adj. “Back End.” A notation used by the GROCERY MANAGER and others on written instructions to indicate where something GOES or may be found relative to a given AISLE, designated by number. For example, “Kill pasta BE-3,” means “SHELF OUT and then BACK-STOCK any remainder of the pasta DISPLAYED (e.g., on a END-CAP, 3-WAY, WING BASE, or SHIPPER—it should be obvious once you look) at or near the Back End of AISLE 3.” Also BACK, BOTTOM. Versus FE, FRONT, TOP.NOTE: May be written with or without dashes or spaces, as, “BE-#”, “BE #” or “BE#”—all are equivalent.
