Cathy: I need one more photo album in the star pattern to complete my lifelong dream of having a decade of photos organized into matching albums! Saleswoman: The star pattern has been discontinued. Cathy: I chose the star pattern because it was the one you said you always had. Saleswoman: We always used to have it, but it was discontinued, so now we don't have it anymore. Cathy: I just put 9 1/2 years in the star pattern! I'm begging you! Let me finish one thing in my life!! Saleswoman: We're out of the star pattern, but we're over-stocked on blame. Cathy: If the rest of my life is chaos, it's all your fault!!!
I can also see Cathy’s point. I’m a little tired of everything I like being discontinued. I’ve pretty much stopped shopping at one market because they’ve discontinued my toothpaste, yogurt, face cream, peanut butter, soap, and a few other things I can’t think of at the moment. It’s not really all their fault, the manufacturers just keep deciding that if it’s not the most popular flavor etc., they just won’t carry it any more. It’s frustrating.
