English term or phrase: “free-for-all.”
Name and label even the areas that currently don’t have stock, like empty shelves, with what should be put there in the future. It can always be changed if needed, but you don’t want things ending up where they shouldn’t be, just because an employee thought a certain space was a “free-for-all.”

Bonjour Thierry,

Je pencherais pour "libre d'accès", un coin de la bibliothèque accessible à tous (parce que l'employé en question a pensé qu'il devait en être ainsi).

Bien à vous,

Marie
