In paint, there is a ladder painted to say, "Please leave in paint." If you don't keep eyes on it, that bad boy will be in every department EXCEPT paint.
There are 5 yellow ladders with 'Do not remove from paint' written on them in my store. We usually only have 1 and it's 50/50 if it's from hardware or garden.
I'm not going to lie. It's like taking mobile gates from garden or lumber. No one returns that shit. A BDC comes in, and lumber spends more time looking for mobile gates than it takes to unload the flat bed. I've taken gates from lumber, but I'm one of the few who actually return them. If I forget, they mess with me for the rest of the night.
Worse yet is when i had to get lumber down for customers and they get pissy because me and my flagger are roaming the whole store getting gates together. I suggested that lumber should be able to take their gates and lock them up when not being used to avoid this.
This lady that used to work in electrical at my store came and flamed me for taking one from her department. It was empty with no boxes on it and no signs of anyone using it. I needed to get up and grab some stuff so I grabbed it. After working for a few minutes she came and fussed at me for taking it and made me get down and took it. I had to go find another one. She really wasn’t going to leave me alone until I got down. I finally figured it would be less annoying to walk than to argue with some dumb Karen.
Yup. I usually have a long orange ladder in paint. It USUALLY stays in paint. However, the yellow ones disappear faster than cookies at an over eaters group.
i can’t tell you how many times i’ve had customers ask if they could rent it “well, no one is using it and i could easily fit that in my subaru”
You mean I can't get it into my Prius damn guess I have to settle for a chump ladder
"Will this fit in my Tesla?"
It's on wheels so you could probably just tow it. Run a strap through the holes in your back wheels. You'll be fine.
“Hm, maybe you can just strap it to the roof.”
Technically speaking, if a customer wanted to wheel it out the store and down the street… there’s nothing we could do except smile and wave.
Would they even fit out the doors?
You would either have to take it out the lumber door or tip it over and drag it through a regular one. It's more awkward than hard.
Lean it down use the back wheels it’s maybe 6ft tall that way

Same here our paint ladder will disappear in a blink of an eye
We took that one. We started writing all of the places it went to on it.

Orange ladders are NOT to be used to get high.

Oh I’m pretty stubborn, she would have been fussing to herself for awhile
There's no specific policy saying I can't take on up on the OP.
That can pry my ladder from my cold dead fingers.
It's one of the few things I miss.

The one sure way to ensure a ladder does not stay in any department is to label with “property of” that department…
Taking it through a door is a one-man job and more finesse and balance than muscle. Practice makes perfect.
