"I have a similar problem with lots of things. If it is finding a slab of filet mignon, very had to get. I have to be literally the first person in the supermarket as soon as the delivery comes to get it."
I wonder what happened around here. Up until several months ago they had them all the time. I use them for other things than just steaks too. I sometimes make these killer steak sandwiches. I put it on the meat slicer and slice it thin, thinner than you could with a knife unless it is partly frozen, and even then it is a PITA. Ilearned a way to do the mushrooms that makes them really good, you don't just sautee' them, you actually fry them. It takes time because you have to do them individually. But these things kick ass, which brings us to my next bitch. I want UNCUT buns. Reason ? for these, and certain other sandwiches I vee cut them at the top. You practically have to bake your own. Even the dedicated bread store down the street doesn't have them. convenience ? Not for me.
"Another thing. Beef Jerky, have to order online because all they carry is Jacks Links, while good still not optimal. "
I hear people are starting to make their own with these little convection doodads they sell on TV. This gives for alot of flexibility. I imagine with one you could make pork jerky, chicken jerky, pepperoni and all kins of neat shit.
"Workers tell me to order online to get the deal, why even have a storefront at this point if I can get nothing I need."
Marketing. They get you in the store and think "They might see something and have to have it". They love it when you bring kids. We have a Microcenter within reason, just barely - about 27 miles. They almost always have alot in stock and don't over advertise. In fact I haven't seen an ad from them lately. I think they target you once you but something and if you don't come back in a while they stoop. It would be hard to catch me dead at a Best Buy.
Thing is, some people do not "shop". I don't even grocery shop. I know what I want and I look for that. Once I got it I get in line and GTFO. I don't like how they mix things up and try to put all this shit in your face. And all of it, look at the ingredients and second or third is sugar or HFCS.
Can't speak to the caviar situation, not into it. The whole idea turns me off, like mollusks etc. That joke about down in Louisiana they eat what we call the Orkin Man for, well that's me when it comes to that. Fish and shrimp are about all I eat in the way of seafood ad I am picky about that. I won't eat tilapia, salmon, swordfish. It's just the way I am.
"Need a nice beer, an exotic beer, well forget it. If you do find a bottle it is many years old and expired."
One thing this area does have is a ton of microbreweries. They seem to be doing alright, probably because the usual beverage stores don't carry much what people call real beer. Few imports either. I like the thin stuff because I drink it like soda pop and don't want to get hammered. But a nice real beer now and then is good. Just like booze.
