Third possibility: They are clueless. ;) Just because a computer is capable
of something doesn't mean the minimum wage slaves in front of it know. A
manager on the other hand, pretty much HAS to know.
I happen to know (via a TRU 'friend' of my own) that the TRU system has an
excellent tracking system - not only can they tell you if they have something,
but they can tell you if it's in the warehouse or in transit to the store, and
how many the store is getting. They can also get that info for any store
serviced from the same warehouse. (although that's a bit trickier).
