The US had a cheese glut this summer which was good for consumers. The nearby supermarket was selling Tillamook at $3 a package (usually 8 oz) so I picked up a package of extra sharp which rang up for $5. I complained about the price because it was marked $3 on the shelf. They came back and had removed the $3 price but had to give that price to me. I explained that there was a cheese glut which I had read about a couple weeks earlier and I had bought the same package at another store for $3. They looked clueless because these people never follow what is happening in the commodities market. In fact they don't teach store staffs much at all about how retail works.
