That may work at the OfficeMax you manage (how else would you know
that the paper slips always match up with the inventory?) but does
not seem to be effective at our local Office Depot, Menard's, or
Farm & Fleet.  It always pays to ask them to check inventory.
People pocket the slip and then change their minds about buying
the item.  I've frequently had experiences both ways -- with
the slips being there but items not in stock, or no slips but
plenty of inventory.
