No fish counter ????? !!!!

A new supermarket opened up beside where I live and I thought oh great I can walk to get my food / goods etc instead of driving to the next village. I can save on carbon emissions, think global / act local. Well they bulit it with a built in meat counter, a built in pizza counter, a built in sudried tomatoes and olive counter, a built in cheese counter and guess what no fish counter. Like hello!!!!!!!! how much are you being paid make such an oversight? Guess what. Since it opened the most requested item is a fish counter. Wonder why they didn’t think of that? Simple dysfunction comes as standard.

Second thing to do with this supermarket. I’ve just come from buying shampoo. There’s this brand which is really cool with all herbs added. Well I’ve got some cousins coming from america and there only young teenagers so I thought I’d get them this brand of shampoo. Well they have sixteen varieties available but not one of them is for normal hair. We now have so much choice we have nothing to chose. Madness.

Possible explanation. Most people buy the normal hair shampoo and they have this new magazine award winning oily roots dry ends version out and their trying to promote this with all its fancy label with award winning sticker and all. So don’t stock the most commonly bought product stock this one in its place instread. Like it makes sense even if you have normal hair to use one that treats greasy roots and dry ends at the same time, sounds pretty much like standard fare but you wont switch to it if the normal one is available: not broken don’t fix it type thing. Well capitalist ireland's solution to a branded product that sells really well is to take it off the shelves. Why? well if most people but it then the sixteen other choices won’t sell as well. So now you have a choice of sixteen products you do not want and do not have a choice of the one product you do!!!
