OMG has everyone heard of dry erase tape and dry erase stickers?!
I was lamenting today that the hot glue idea wouldn't work for tires, and then I thought dejectedly about how badly adhesive labels always work out. I suddenly had the thought that what would be awesome would be labels that were dry erase, and then I thought someone must have already invented that, and surely enough they exist!! Hell yeah!!
They're a little on the expensive side, but at least for our shop this will revolutionize our ability to label parts storage. Also a lot of community shops are probably set up to get them donated.

Pals, we've got a bunch of long skinny red u-line bins (like 4" x 18") on a couple long shelves now that are BALLING. They're super easy access for people to get their hands on small and medium sized parts. What are your like, top ten or top twenty small or medium sized things that people need to get ahold of? What would I not think of, but you're like "oh folks actually need XYZ like all the damn time"? Or do you have cautionary tales, like "don't put fifteen pounds of M5 bolts in one of those, they will get mixed up immediately with other things and it will suck"?
Also check it: we're going to take a tip from Kickstand in Vancouver and hot-glue the part itself to the front of the bin, so that no one needs to remember just what a thing is called to have access to the magic.
