How do supermarkets capture feedback?

Image
In a small shop (mom and pop store) the owner of the shop gets direct feedback from customers. For example, when a customer comes to purchase something and if that item is missing or sold out, the owner immediately is aware about this. Now the owner decides if he should order that item or not.  My question is, how do supermarkets manage similar situations? In the supermarkets when some item is missing or sold out, most customers don't bother to ask the employees there, even if they ask the employees are not tracking any of this and therefore not passing this information to store manager or management?

Germans through an Indian eye - A poem

Germans through an Indian eye   We shop at Lidl, Rewe or Aldi Drive Benz, BMW or Audi We strictly follow all the rules Be on time for all schedules We drop kids at Kindergarten Meet our friends at Biergarten We drink Helles, Weiss or Radler One out of 3 is a footballer We're ready for all weather Treat alien also like our brother We like being healthy and fit Run even when it's snow and grit Our dogs don't bark, kids don't cry Cars don't honk, even rain doesn't try Our almost everything is on wheel You can't imagine it's such a good feel We speak English fluently When we claim only a little bit We know to say no politely And where exactly is our limit We aren't shy to say, I don't know On the face, sarcasm is not our friend We'll tell you what you should know Whether stranger, colleague or friend Our breakfast is from bakery Public transport is luxury Flea market is not secondary Our work is our
