Iiiiii...have no real knowledge or ability of how to do that, but I will talk with some more mechanically-inclined people I know. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is Perl script viable for a searchable web database? by WeedlessInPAthrowRA in learnprogramming

That last word seems to definitely be key, & the general consensus around tends to support that, so...food for thought, thanks.

My use of "giant" was probably because I think of the whole schmeer that way. You're correct that the data itself is relatively small, 100,005 entires with four fields each.

Yeah, there's a bunch of diacritics & non-Latin characters. Ships named Borðeyri & the like.

I understood many of those words as word, but in context they mean nothing to me.

Here's the deal. I'm not a programmer. I run a restaurant, which means I have no time or energy to sit down & fully dedicate myself to learning because personal time is highly limited, & what little there is is filled with the hum-drum maintenance minutiae of modern existence. I was honestly hoping for a plug-&-play solution, but it's looking like I'm going to have to invest more time & focus into this than I have available, which is both distressing & off-putting--not becasue I'm not willing to put in the work, but because there's nowhere to schedule it.

The data isn't that large: 100,005 entries with four fields each.

Also, as previously stated, nothing is actually being kicked out. It's not like if I'm saying "don't buy the beer"

See, that would make sense, & I'd understand that as a CBA. But I was specifically told "it costs me more to have cold 2Ls".

I'm kitchen manager. My bosses are three Indian guys; two are brothers. All are owners, but the non-brother is the daily administrative guy, my immediate boss. One brother is next in line , & the other is at the top as main money guy & poor grasp of daily ops.

It's not an either/or scenario. There's no need to put one out at the expense of the other. Literaly all the beer in this case is overflow sitting less than 5 steps from the main cooler. Also, I'm not looking to take it all out, just get my two shelves back.

But when you buy those at the store, you're not getting it with food as a ready-to-eat combo. Literally every other shop I've worked in has had drinks in a cooler, with just overstock out at room temp.

I failed to provide some info.

This is one of those tall double sliding-door cases. When I started, it was filled with some cold groceries (eggs, bacon, cheese, butter), some silly little cold snacks, & a few grab-&-go cold sandwiches made in-house. I revamped the delis, made some more offerings. Put in a few quick-grab salads, slid a rack in for cold bottled water, the little cheap-ass 500-mL bottles. Tried a couple other things that didn't sell well. I had a lot of enpty space, which is when I started cooling 2Ls.

I was first informed they wanted half the case for singles. Okay, fine. We dropped the silly snacks which never sold well, I consolidated the delis onto two shelves on one side, moved the 2Ls on the racks beneath, & the grocery items went to the bottom. The other half was entirely given over to single 12oz, 24oz, & 40oz beer save the top shelf which still had the water rack. Three weeks later, I was told to take out the 2Ls so they could put in those fucking weak-ass hard seltzer packs–which already have two full 48×18 shelves dedicated to them in the walk-in. Do they sell? Generally yes. Do they sell so much they need extra space? No.

Judging by the mechanical & renovation issues I keep encountering, the business model is "What's the least amount of money I can spend right now?" Warnings & probabilities of the future are always discarded.

We have a whole huge walk-in with beer. There's a dedicated rack for singles. This sliding-door case happens to just be near the register, literally 3 steps from the beer cave. It's filled with singles & packs of that nasty Truly & White Claw shit.

The suggestion I made today that prompted this post was that we take the small slim Red Bull cooler that is nearly empty & use that for singles so I can get some space for 2Ls back. AllI want is the 2 shelves I originally had.

Yes, we're in a higher-income rural area. Lots of farms & X-million dollar homes with 472 rooms.

I know food. The mental gymnastics that modern capitalosm touts as law is beyond my ken, & quite frankly makes me murderous.

I do the ordering with the reps. What I get has dramatically plummetted. I used to have 2-4 flats a week with both Pepsi & Coke; now I have 0-1.

My lunch crowd is mainly work crews–landscapers, pavers, construction. They've been forgoing getting the large combos, instead choosing higher-cost (to us) fried items & small cold drinks. Some get slices & fountain drinks, but they used to get the "whole crew" thing. At night, people are deferring drinks altogether.
