Nobody told me how to solve a problem. And I have said repeatedly that the
stores here keep changing what I sell. Remember the taco sauce that I
couldn't find? They had it at Safeway, then not. Then at Albertsons. I
don't know if either store has it now. I still have a couple of bottles
left so haven't had to look for it.
