wow does that sound familiar... the secret computer report on what MY household buys, so they can quit carrying exactly those items!
oh, and my DH's theory that the MOST POPULAR items are highly likely to get dropped, "because it's so much bother re-stocking the popular stuff all the time... customers keep buying and emptying the shelves, so we have to work harder to keep these items in stock -- nah, let's drop 'em & save ourselves the work" and when some national corp. giant buys out your local chain and replaces LOCAL products with house-brand stuff from wherever they are home-based. chimene (where Kroger from the MidWest bought Fred Meyer of Oregon and wrought all sorts of havoc; and where local WINCO chain is expanding into CA and wreaking all sorts of havoc with their stock as they lower and lower the common denominator, dropping NW local products for "stuff" that they can get in greater volume, because of the CA store explosion) On May 16, 2012, at 4:52 AM, annbw...@aol.com wrote: > And superfine sugar, and tarragon vinegar, and . . . . > Heard a woman the other day swear that our largest local chain deliberately > goes through and quits carrying x items a month that she buys all the time. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
