I am gravely disappointed in you.
If you intend to introduce me to to a new product, say Godiva coffee, on a checkout end cap, no less, I would expect you to carry said product for more than three weeks. It is unfeeling of you to feed me a new addiction and then remove any capability for me to feast upon said addiction.
This is wrong on so many levels.
I can no longer enjoy Archer Farms coffee.
Starbucks coffee is a disappointment.
While I know in my head that I enjoy Mahogany Midnight from Caribou, I cannot bring myself to purchase it, fearful that it, too, will be a disappointment. And is $8.50 a pound.
I used to go to Target specifically to buy the Caribou Mahogany Midnight. To my knowledge, Target is the only store within a driving radius that carries this brand.
And then you brought forth the Godiva.
It was pure bliss in a cup. A simple decadent moment in my otherwise harried day. No fancy titles. No fancy flavors. Simple. Godiva. Or Godiva decaf. On sale on the checkout endcap of aisle 9 for $6.99 a pound. And I thought to myself, $6.99 is a fair deal, but what is the regular price? Oh! Sweet mercy! $7.99! That I can do.
Life is too short to drink cheap coffee. Unless you drink a gallon a day, at which point, I say "drink up."
I grabbed a bag to try, not knowing it would be my last opportunity. Had I known, I would have purchased the entire endcap and bought another deep freeze in which to store it.
Surely I can not be the only one, mister corporate buyer for Super Target. Surely not.
Bring it back. Feed my addiction. After all, you are the one who caused the addiction. (Aren't you a good little pusher?) Isn't that what dealers do? Create a need and fulfill that need? You are dropping the ball and it is a grave disappointment.
Unfortunately I cannot even threaten to move my buying power to the Walmart across the street because if Target doesn't carry Godiva, what on earth would make Walmart do so? But I may check. And while I'm there, I might just buy something else.
See how threatening I am, Mister Corporate Buyer for Target?
I have no leverage, but I would appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Otherwise, I may just have to buy the $15 a pound coffee from Kauai Coffee Company. Don't make me stoop to this snobbery. Just feed my addiction.
That's all I ask.
Thank you, and good day.

This keeps happening to you...think ice cream! I'll be checking my Publix and my Target (close to Dress Barn) to see if I can find this for you!! Big Sis
All canned, roasted speciality bagged coffee is uuugggg or way to high in price. GO to www.freshcoffeebeans.com or especially www.sweetmarias.com and get educated about green coffee beans and the differences they offer. Also, look at their roasters. The Fresh Roast SR 300 is excellent and is $109.
As the resident coffee roasting guru, I would be delighted to teach you what to watch for when roasting -
Now, if I could just find where Mrs. Sr. hid my coffee cup on which ceiling, all would be well.
At least I don't have to deal with Target for my addiction - just Mrs who loves to hide my cup. Course she always wants hers delivered to her when she first finds herself in front of the mirror. Darn cup anyway.
