Grocery store rant. Feel free to join in!

I hate when my favorite product is out of stock.

yep that does suck!!!!!!

Yes that is so frustrating - we experienced that with combos - they still make the cheese filled cracker ones but our grocery no long carries them but they carry other flavors.  You can ask them to special order items but it is too aggravating to deal with so we don't bother.

Oh, you're telling me!!!  It happens ALL THE TIME!!!!  I wonder if more people would complain to the store managers if it would make a difference??

Was it Fresh Market BBQ dressing salad kit??   That's the one I been missing, I'm not sure why they need two shelves of the Asian one now.  The Asian is always sitting there & the BBQ was ALWAYS flying off the shelf!

No but a similar product, and yes the good flavors are always out!

If i cannot find a fresh product in stock anymore, I usually just find a way to make it. there is probably a youtube video that will teach you how make food that has been discontinued.

I live in a small town and Walmart is our only national chain store.  They are notorious for dropping my favorite items.  Twice they've done this then just as mysteriously brought them back many months or a year later.  However my biggest gripe with them involves their trikes.  We don't have a mass transit system and I haven't had a car for years.  I have arthritis in my feet so walking around town is not an option so I got an adult trike in my favorite color: purple (couldn't tell, huh?).  It was so pretty many of the revues talked about it's looks and I got many compliments.  They had nearly 500 such revues in less than a year!  So what did they do  they discontinued the color and replaced it with an ugly gray.  Seriously, the first revue stated that the color "dark silver" was misleading and that it was actually a gray.  After two years it only had a quarter of the revues the purple had.  Why do I care and how did I come to look into this?  Simple, mine was stolen, from my home where it was locked up, while I was home, after only one year and eleven months!  Try as I may I could not fine another, just people looking for the pretty purple color.  Schwinn says it was a Walmart exclusive color and though they'd love to sell me one they can't.  So if people loved this color and still want it why did Walmart discontinue it?  They got mine stolen!

I hate when sale items don't ring up right and you don't realize it until you leave the store!

       It is really frustrating because some products are only seasonal.

My rant is about cashiers and clerks who pretend to be my best friend.  They try to "small talk" with me....when I really just want them to be professional enough to focus on my transactions and count my change back to me.

Most of the time, I use the self serve check out so I don't have to deal with the silliness.
