You should be asking YOUR STORE what THEIR issue is getting/keeping them in
stock, not wondering what OUR pear situation is,as if there is some small
can of pears conspiracy going on. You may be able to figure things out,
but this post says otherwise. If I couldn't all of a sudden find a common
food like canned pears, I sure as hell wouldn't ask RFC first. Ridiculous
attention seeking at its finest. Ask your grocer why they aren't stocking
them!!
