Trader Joe's giveth, and Trader Joe's taketh away

[gwynnega]

The good: Trader Joe's had pumpkin butter! As I told the cashier, I won't feel like eating it until the weather cools off, but that's supposed to happen this week, and I thought maybe buying the pumpkin butter would help move things towards autumn.

The bad: When I couldn't find my beloved Volcano extra-dark coffee beans and I asked an employee...

TJ's employee: I think we're discontinuing it.

Gwynnega: NoooooOOOOOooooooo!!!

TJ's employee: Sorry. Maybe try one of these other dark roasts?

Gwynnega: [dejectedly takes dark French roast beans, which will probably taste nearly identical. But still!]

Ack, someone found out you liked it! That's what always happens with stuff I like. I'm still ticked at Bath and Body Works for discontinuing my favorite delicately scented body butter, when they still sell the crappy super stinky body butters. Grrrrrrrrr...

I hope this new coffee fits the bill, though.

I hate when that happens!

Well, I will savor what I have left of the Volcano coffee...

I love Trader Joe's too...except when they take away my favorite stuff!

I hate that! Why must things be discontinued?

If I'd known in advance, I'd have stockpiled the Volcano coffee! If any more of it appears on the shelves, I will...
