Written by Lana Bogomaz

Along with the robot character Turbi, the reader learns how a dark store differs from a regular store and what each team member, both employees and partners, is responsible for. In the story, Turbi meets a partner courier who tells him the story of how dark stores were created and then invites him to see how everything works from the inside.
Turbi learns many facts about Samokat's dark store: what a planogram is, how products are arranged, and why a merchandiser needs a ring scanner. The robot also understands the teams responsible for ensuring everything runs smoothly. These include dark store employees (merchandisers and directors), partner assemblers, partner couriers, and specialists from related teams (employees from purchasing, technology, development, the control center, and other departments)
