My customers auditors are demanding they do a physical inventory by the end of the year. As of the time of this post they have 52,900 packages with a total weight if 1,499,750# spread across 4 out of 9 buildings on site. This is typically an all day thing where they bring 12+ people, pair them up with one of our people, and then traipse merrily across the entire site.

Disney just wrote off $20k in tax for giving someone elses money to charity.

if they’re taking a tax deduction I guess that means they accrued the coins as revenue, which makes sense but I never really thought about that before

Maybe your legislators should have thought about what this means vis-à-vis auditing so the auditors could postpone it or something?

Most of the other customers that store at our warehouse are not doing a physical inventory this year specifically because

They hope to only need to do a sample audit and send just one person but that's still up to the auditors that have to earn a paycheck somehow

It's also worth mentioning that the stock of playstations isn't actually advertised anywhere on the Target website. People are viewing Twitter or websites that claim to show backroom inventory and using it as justification to brigade retail employees in mobs.

I can't find the tweet but someone posted that they had bought a big pile of PS5's and would scalp them and then within like an hour someone figured out their address, drove over, and robbed them for the principle of the thing or whatever. People were like "we somehow need to communicate to gamers that landlords are the ultimate scalpers and they can have all the PS5's they want if they take care of that problem"

To me the really funny thing about the scalping is that a) the easiest way to punish the scalpers is to simply wait and go without the thing for a short period of time, and b) every time one of these consoles launches the first production runs are poo poo anyway and they break all of the time.

There probably aren't even any loving games for the thing right now.

Skyrim is so ubiquitous that I think that at this point that to set up a new device you need to ride on a wagon with the gagged Ulfric Stormcloak. Why?
