Haha, I almost went with 'Shrinkage' there. Sounds like something straight out of the TV show 'The Office'!

I agree with Thad. This is definitely stock picking, not some other random warehouse activity.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) Manual handling, since it involves physically moving items.
