Shelf

Shelf

n. 1. By shortening, representative of any and all shelving in the public areas of the STORE which is used to support and DISPLAY ITEMS for sale: “Is that on the shelf?” 2. The specific SPOT or HOLE where an ITEM belongs: “Be sure that goes to the shelf.” 3. The long, narrow, silver-colored metal, angled shelf that fits between the slats of a BACKDROP, as on an END-CAP: “You'll need a shelf.” See BACKDROP. —v. To put an ITEM into it's proper SPOT on the SHELF: “Shelf this.” See WORK. See also SHELF OUT.

NOTE: By implication, the expectation when you're told to Shelf something is that it should all GO. However, if not, the remainder goes to the BACK ROOM as either SPECIALS or BACK-STOCK, as appropriate.
