Yup. You got that right. I have free reign to order anything for my customers
as long as it's available from our distributor. I can even order a lot of
threesies...meaning I'm not stuck with an entire case of an item if it doesn't
appeal to others. Frozen foods do come by the case, which can be 8-10 or even
24, but I figure if one person is asking about it, there might be others who
will enjoy the product.

My only obstacle, other than availability through Tree of Life (our major
grocery distributor) is storage space. My tiny store has limited department
shelving available and zero back storage space so I have to be very careful how
I order.

Which brings me to another problem. Invariably I will make space for a high
demand item because I'm such a nice person, which may mean closing out
something that isn't moving well. I swear, every time without fail, that ONE
person who liked that product that only comes in twice a year will show up
within a week and wonder why it isn't there anymore. GROAN! I bite my lip from
saying...if you LIKED it so much why didn't you buy it when it was here??????
