As mentioned several times, I do most of the shopping in an effort to help my financial controller. She has plenty to keep her busy. I also do most of the cooking, but that’s another story. On my weekly trip to Wally Mart, I happened to see the store manager and asked her a question about Shredded Wheat.
If you don’t know what shredded wheat, it is a cereal that looks like a bale of hay. I tried it once - notice that I said once. However, my financial controller and my 89 year old mother-in-law (MIL) eats the stuff every day for breakfast and "MIL" eats it more than once per day. It is a staple in their diets, especially MILs. Therefore it is critical that I maintain a supply of this product.
For several months now, Wally Mart has been hit and miss on stocking shredded wheat - mostly miss. The local grocery stopped stocking it about a year ago. I’ve even changed Wally Mart stores to find this essential to life cereal. When I asked the store manager about why it was no longer on the shelves, she had no idea of what I was talking about. But, one of her helpers did. After returning to the cereal isle, they scanned a price tag where the elusive bales had been and discovered it is now discontinued. I told her that I would have to bring my financial controller and MIL to the store and they could hash it out. I'm just the errand boy.
After MIL gets through with her, the store manager will likely be eating a lot of fruit loops.
