That paper employees have is called a planogram. Some group in the corporate office creates them and sends them to the stores. They are supposed to match the type and size of shelving you have in a specific location. This only happens some of the time, the rest of the time, the manager gets upset you changed the planogram, even though it doesn’t match what you have.
I could see that, I think the last time I played was around 02-03. Good on them for expanding the world like they have. It’s really crazy to think that game is still going.
