Yes, it annoys me too when they stop selling something you liked and when you ask them why they say 'It wasn't selling'...............that's funny because everytime I went to buy some there was only a couple of packets or whatever left so someone must have been buying it!
I was in Sainsburys on Saturday and me and hubby went to buy some wine. I asked the fella there if any wine was marked suitable for vegans. He said 'I'll go and get so and so' (not exact words but I can't remember his name.........I think so and so was a manager type).
Anyway, over came this older manager type and I asked again nicely, 'Have you any wine suitable for vegans?'
He looked at me as if I was insane and said, 'We just sell the wine, I mean I can't recommend wine to you because you are vegetarian or vegan'.
He actually thought I wanted him to suggest a 'good' wine for me to drink with my vegan meal!
I had to explain to him what I meant and about the wine-making process (which made me look like some kind of know-it-all) and eventually he understood what I was getting at.
I mean though for goodness sake, he's working in the alcohol department and he doesn't even know if any of the bottles are marked suitable for vegans.....................I wasn't asking him to do a wine-tasting session for me!
