It's Alive!

Crawled up to the supermarket just now. My house is located in a pocket of peace and tranquility in a very busy area, but it's a long way from the shops. If you took a compass and transcribed a circle centered on my house with a radius of just under a mile, you'd hit a whole bunch of shopping centres, but inside that circle - nada.

But! Mars and Snickers bars 40% off! Buy! Buy! Also Bounty, but they didn't have none. Also didn't have no Tropical Frosty Fruits, a subject on which I have ranted previously.

And the bakery was out of cheese and bacon danishes, which are my new favourite snack/meal-type-thingy. They're always out of the cheese and bacon ones, and they always have the cheese and tomato and cheese and spinach ones left over. Do they learn?

Well, evidently not.

1 Tell them they need to reevaluate their product mix and adjust their prep pars to maiximize their income and profit margins... how friggin hard is that?

If they are ALWAYS out, then they don't have a very smart manager OR they have a supply problem, which can be solved by changing vendors [management again]... bottom line: there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for a restaurant being out of product.

I never ran out of anything when I was ordering. PERIOD.
