Re: Discontinued! Grr!
It used to be the case that businesses made money by anticipating and supplying the needs of their customers. Now it seems that most retail businesses, particularly the large and ubiquitous chains, view their customers as a troublesome necessity to be humoured for exactly the length of time it takes to get their money off them and no further. The days of the independent retailer who was knowlegeable and passionate about his business are fading into memory, undercut and overtaken by the bland disinterest of the "one size fits all" school of business. We are all the poorer for this sad and sorry state of affairs, and also largely to blame for it .
