Stock day...

Lana: Thanks for the ride.
Whitney: You're welcome.
Lana: Do you want to come in and say hi to Nell?
Whitney: I can't. I got to get over to the store. It's stock day.
Lana: See you tonight?
Whitney: Uh, I've got to run the numbers over to my dad at the hospital.

What do the underlined parts mean?

My guess is it's a day set aside for taking inventory and re-stocking the shelves. Perhaps they do this every Tuesday, or something like that. It may be done while the store is open to customers, or the staff may come in early or stay late, or they may close the store to customers for half a day.
