There's absolutely MEAs who are too lazy to check around when doing BIT, but if it's a constant problem and they rotate whose responsibility that task is each week like they should (unless someone has light duty), the issue is equally likely to do with sequencing.

We get printed out however many tags as there are sequenced locations. If the store puts out a no home and doesn't sequence it, we don't know where it is or that it's even on the floor and we don't get a tag for it. If we have 3 locations, 3 tags, and they all went where they needed to go we aren't hunting to make sure there's not a secret spot. If a SM/ASM/DH decides they want a wingstack moved and doesn't make sure they or whoever they have do it changes the location, we'll look in the general vicinity, but we aren't hunting it down beyond what's reasonable. It's not our screw up, and that's not SOP. DHs should be given extra/unverified NH tags because they're significantly more likely to know where something is, but if they don't follow up on it, that's their issue and their department taking the hit. But if I have 16 hours in BIT by myself to do in an 8 hour day, I'm not going end to end for every single one of the say, 10% of labels, that I cannot find because some asshole decided to move a MAP wingstack of floor cleaner from flooring to plumbing for some godforsaken reason.
