I worked at Banana Republic for a long while, and they definitely had lots in the back. It was about a quarter of the size of the store which was quite large. Every one i have been in was similar. Unfortunately, if a customer asked if something was in the back, sometimes the sales associates would pretend to look or say it definitely wasn't back there(usually they were very helpful, but even the best get tired). Someone from my highschool came in and after getting this runaround from my manager, asked me, and I found at least fifteen leather coats in the back. They were just difficult to reach, and she didn't want to make an effort. Now there's this cool system that lets you scan the ticket and look up on the register if there are any in the back and how many. It doesn't account for today's sales, though. I think every BR can do this not just our store. Here's something that sucks though. I doubt I got credit for selling that guy from my school a jacket. The managers who worked the register consistently sold thousands more dollars in merchandise than the sales associates who were actually selling the merchandise. It made me very mad. Grrr.
