Good question about the pasta. That's why it boggled my mind that they would replace something great with yet another pasta identical to the rest.
Good point about liking something and having it disappear. My wife and I comment on that frequently, "We like this so it'll disappear soon.".
I suggested to corporate of store A that they fire the a'holes doing it. I've told them that store X has the product and rather than buy what store A has I'll drive to store X and buy from them. They just don't seem to care. Maybe for everyone of me who won't settle for 2nd best, they have so many other folks who just grab anything to fill their cart. I've gone so far as to make my own or order off the 'net. I warn the stores about my plans. again, they just don't care. Maybe they don't think I can make stuff, but we make (from scratch) a large portion of what we consume, so making food (or even making the raw ingredient) is no mystery to me. Case in point, Store A only has Farmers Cheese during the holidays, I asked them to order some for me, but they refused. So I found out how to make my own. It's 1/2 the cost of store bought and much drier, so I'm not paying for water weight as I did from the store. It takes very little time to make. Since they drove me to make my own I've bought none of theirs when they do have it. I don't even look for it.
I bought pomegranite syrup for 'tinis, that store changed hands and I asked the new owners what happened to it and could they keep it in stock? Again, they wouldn't. Now I buy it online less expensively, no sales tax, and free shipping. But they claim to want our business. If so then supply what is desired and someone wants to buy. Pretty simple to me. It's getting so that lot's of times I won't even look for things locally, I just go online. They've poisoned the well, so to speak. I know some Canadians who do the same.
Those are just 2 of the many that immediately came to mind.
