There's this nifty new device called "the computer". It's easy enough
for them to determine whether or not they are able to stock something.

Sure is! I can't show pictures of deer in my yard like Sheldon can
bcuase I have only a small one, but I have a sweet cat and 2 sweet
doggies. They generally sleep in a pile with the cat trying to convince
the older blind dog that she gets the middle but normally losing that
battle. Daisy-chan normally ends up tucked to Iowna's tummy and Iowna
to Cash's tummy.

Customer Service have no access to the computer you reference. Maybe
in other cities they do, not mine.

I wouldn't know how supermarket networks are set up but the customer
service departments where I shop definitely have computers. I'm pretty
sure someone in the store can check availability if a customer asks.
Discontinued items would/should show up. Maybe those small size cans of
pears simply weren't selling. In that instance, I wouldn't stock them
either.

It depends on the store you're dealing with. I don't get much
satisfaction with the big guys, but Trader Joe's will tell me if they
can order it. More importantly they will tell me which nearby TJ's
has it on the shelf. Not only that - they'll call and it will be
waiting for me at the customer service desk.

That's if you can get the person who is in charge of that. I did POS work.
At my store, only POS people or managers could access the computer and there
wasn't always someone available to do that.

They're not discontinued, Jill. If they were, there would be no SEM. I'm
not stupid and I worked in retail for many, many years. And while they
might have a computer at Customer Service, it might not be one that links
into the POS system.

Darnit! I just got back from the grocery store and I meant to look
for small canned pears but I forgot. I neglected to write that on my
list.

I'll add it to my Saturday morning list. I'm sure there is no
shortage on canned pears but I can see that if the small cans don't
sell so well, they might remove them and fill up that space with
something that *does* sell better. Shelf space in stores is always
limited depending on store size.

You could adapt though, Julie and just buy the larger cans. A leftover
amount will last in your fridge for at least a week. Please don't say
you don't have room for one small container of leftover pears.

I can't say that they are all the same but I think that the stores are
provided with a list of products that are available from the warehouse
or from their supplies, items that they have contracted to buy. A few
years ago I had had some Hagen Daaz Mango gelato and liked it. I looked
for it in a Zehr's store and when I could not find it I asked someone.
he looked through his list of products and did not find it. He even
showed me the list so, according to him, there was no such product. A
few weeks later I found it in a different grocery store. It existed in
their world. It still does.

A normal person could. A normal person could eat pears that came in a 5
gallon bucket.

What is a SEM? I googled and got Search Engine Marketing, Strategic
Enrolment Management, and Scanning Electron Microscope.

She knows! Your solution has been posted numerous times by multiple
people and she rejects it every time. She is not a stranger at Amazon
and often orders by the case. I posted an Amazon link to a case of
little cans days ago and yet this thread STILL continues. Give it up.

Perhaps the service counter doesn't have access to the listing of items
that store carries, but the people in the departments do, at least they
did in a local store where I asked about a particular product. He showed
me the list of products they carry. It was not on his list. However, it
was carried in another local store.

It would cost me the gas to go there and it would surely be a waste of my
time. I have yet to ever get a correct answer at this store.

For snacking this is much better than canned, eat how much you want
when you want, no spoilage, and can easily be reconstituted:
http://www.amazon.com/Dried-Bartlett...ds=dried+pears
I rarely buy canned fruit, dried fruit is far better. these are the
best dried fruits:
http://market.sunmaid.com/index.php?...ategory_id=178
Wonderful pears:
http://market.sunmaid.com/index.php?...oduct_id=29847
Have questions, phone:
http://market.sunmaid.com/index.php?...view&page_id=7
I buy Sunmaid bulk products direct all the time, their mail order is
much better quality than from stupidmarkets... wonderful raisins and
fantastic figs.

There never was a shortage except in one city in Washington State...
and that was because one (1) person couldn't find one(1) teeny weeny
sized tin that her spoiled daughter had to have.
A turmoil ensued which was terribly life-threatening and ghastly.

I meant, when you are already at the grocery store.

Your daughter isn't going to get what she wants. Then she isn't a
princess, but a normal child.

One of the few spots where someone might use the term widdershins and
no one would look at you funny for it.

If i recall (not googling just now), that's a reference to the withers
or hairy back of a horses legs.

-----------------------

The withers are the highest point of the horses shoulders, where the mane
ends.
The fetlocks are the "hairy back" of the lower legs.
