PIZZA TIME! P-P-PIZZA TIME! P-PIZZA TIME!

so what the hell is up with frozen pizza in this town lately? this is one of my bizzaro pet peeves, so brace yourself.

why do pullman grocery stores constantly refuse to stock vegetarian options despite obvious demand? i'm going to use frozen pizza (obviously not the best example, but one that i have vast personal interest in) to make my point.

so. in the IGA freezer (and this complaint isn't IGA-specific, but again, an easy example) there are, say, six types of pizza. of these pizza types (brands), there are six or so "flavors" of each. there's the obvious (cheese, and pepperoni) and then four other random, specialized kinds. so, of these six "flavors" you start with the same amount of each: that is, say, 10 pizzas of each flavor, every week. in-fucking variably (and this is something i've been noticing now over almost FOUR YEARS) they will sell out of the cheese pizza OF EVERY BRAND within two or three days of restocking. by the end of the week, they will regularly have not sold out of ANY OF THE OTHER FLAVORS. yet, they not only refuse to respond by stocking more of the cheese flavor(s) (which people obviously buy more of), but lately various stores, including IGA, have started just not stocking cheese-only flavors at all for weeks a time, and stepping up their stocking of things like "meat trio" and "taco beef" pizzas...which constantly just DON'T SELL, compared to cheese-only options which consistently sell (and this isn't me making a vegetarian point, this is just pure economic logic). why the fuck do they do this? it makes no sense to me, and IS INFURIATING.

not to mention the fact that if i have a huge hankering for cheap pizza now i have to buy a pepperoni pizza and be really careful to pick off ALL the damn pepperoni slivers and tiny microscopic bits before cooking.

i'm so glad i took the time to bring blogging back down to what it was originally designed for: impotent, incoherent wailing about completely inconsequential bits of everyday life based on the assumption that other people will give some fucks.
