My wonderful fiance is a manager for a rather upscale grocery chain in CT, mostly specializing in their cheese and deli department. Mainly his job is to order X amount of cheese every so often, cut it and price it. Sometimes he likes to get fancy and flavor the cheese with rubbed spices and such.
He hates going away on vacation with me sometimes because when he comes back nobody's taken care of his section at all. He's sent me photos of his cheese bins completely bare before, and he'd been gone for a week.
He shared this story with me yesterday.
Cast:
D: my fiance
C: We all know who this is
C:Why don't you have any more ___?
D:I'm sorry, we sold out
C:Why!?
D:It comes in Thursday, goes out for sale in Friday, and sometimes sells out by Monday.
C:Order more then!
D:It's fresh cheese, we only order a small amount because it only has a week shelf life
C:Well then order more after the weekend!
D:We only get one delivery per week
C:Well how do I get some then!
D:Best chance is to come in Friday or Saturday, or call us and we'll set some aside for you
C:Okay, I'll do that then *storms off*
Two weeks later......on Tuesday
C:Why don't you have any more!? Again, two weeks in a row, are you not carrying it anymore!!?
D:Yes we are, we just sold out again. It was a very busy weekend.
C:That doesn't help me!
D:You could have called and asked us to put some aside for you
C:How's that going to help me now, I need it now.
D:There's nothing I can do but suggest you call ahead and ask us to set some aside for you or come in Saturday and buy some before it sells out again
C:This is ridiculous!! *storms off*
