Bringing Something In To Help

At the thrift store where I volunteer, we had been running low on tags, and ordering new ones hadn't been feasible. (Besides, there's also no promises as to when stuff like that will come in.)  As the task of pricing clothes had been delegated to me over the last two weeks, someone else had been tagging the clothes instead of me. As we were low on tags, the other people tagging had no choice but to use tags that had been written on. They ended up having to scratch out whatever was writtien on said tags. Unfortunately, it didn't look very professional.

So, I came up with an idea. I brought some white-out at home and started using that on the tags that had been written on. That way, whatever price was orginally written on wouldn't look as obvious, and there wouldn't be the sloppiness of the scratch outs. Supposedly, I inspired a new policy, which is that we'd take the tags off of stuff after we sold it (if we remembered to take the tags off) and reuse that tags as much as possible, and it would save some money.

It sometimes helps those around you to be resourceful. It may inspire another idea.
