Is it 'stacking' or 'stocking' shelves? ?

When working in a supermarket. Thanks in advance.

    Stocking involves moving the oldest product to the front, to be sold before the newest product.

    When you "stack," you place things one upon another. When you "stock" a shelf, you place merchandise so it's available to be purchased by the customer. So you may "stack' things while "stocking." Sometimes it can be hard to tell with different accents.

    Stocking is the usual term.

    Depending on the context, you stack things onto a shelf in the first place, then re-stock as needed.
