kinokuniya 2008 stock date!

it is a important day for kino! where the whole store books and magazines are being counted precisely, hand counted and scanned one by one. kino is so damn big and there are thousand or maybe million of books are there, how on earth we going to do stock date? like this, all of the staffs must co-operate. all staffs must present. kino is closed only for that day. it start at 7am but i reached at 8am (oh gosh!) i had to scan the wall shelf and island shelf. wall shelf is so tall need to climb up. my both hands are hurt. the process of stock date took about 7 hours. after complete, the retail staffs are busy display their books and magazines while, the store operation staffs (cashiers) so free. i hang out at the magazine section, browsing magazines. there are glasses and customers can see through. they feel weird why kino is closed but there are people inside. my friend, li peng joked that customers though it is vip day.only vip customers can entered kino. we did put notice that we will be closing for stock date. there was a lady customer screaming at the entrance said she didn't see the notice and putting notice is useless. we should inform them. i think every big book shops in malaysia will do the same too. close for stock date. is this her first visit to a book shop? anyway, it is so much fun. it gave me time to really check up what books kino has! it is amazing, the book collections there are good! i am not bragging because i worked there but really! i once heard from our raja perak told his wife while he buying books here. he said about a book printed in london but hasn't out at london and kino is selling the book already.
