<br /> belongs in, employees will read the item's label and ingredients,as well as the PSC HW guidance poster and
<br /> documents,which provide product examples and key words for each of the HW categories,to determine which HW
<br /> tote an item belongs in.When asked if a determination cannot be made based on the information on the item label
<br /> and the guidance poster and documents,Tenisha stated she will contact her district manager. Steve Bohnak, District
<br /> Manager, indicated he would call Eric Voyles, Dollar General Director of Facilities Management, if needed,to ask for
<br /> assistance on making the determination.Tenisha and Steve did not seem aware of Dollar General's Respond ticketing
<br /> system to submit a notification to DG Corporate regarding the scanning system not providing a HW category for a
