Just been shopping to find that i still couldn't get my macadamia nuts, been 2 weeks now grrrrrrrrrrr. Asked a lad to check out the back for me, he came back saying that they were out of stock but would be having delivery later this evening. Now i have been told this every time i have visited the store so i wasn't a happy bunny and asked him to get me a manager.
Explained this to the lovely store manager who was with a couple of men in suits (must be big bosses) and he appologised and told me that they had been having regular deliverys of them but they were flying off the shelves even though they had been increasing their order. I said it must be because a lot of shoppers are on the Atkins diet, to cut a long story short they were extremely interested in this and asked me loads of question about the diet and what types of food were allowed etc. Asked me what i thought of slim fast (tried not to laugh, honest!) and i told them very high carb, and nothing in that range would be suitable for LC etc (my store has had all slim fast products on sale for half price for over a month now). Told them of the products in America, stevia, Atkins products, LC foods, how their stores have a aisle just for LC products and i could just see the pound signs flashing in their eyes. Especially when i told them Atkins products were not available here and that the Atkins book is the #1 seller.
I really felt they were interested in this and was talking with them for about 20 minutes, he even took my name and address so he could send me some vouchers for my time, very nice man

Anyway i was thinking if we all contact our local supermarkets it might get them to catch on to the goldmine sooner, and we can have quick supermarket trips again, takes me forever reading all the labels. Especially when i still read the labels on stuff i know will be to high carb, sweets, cakes, biscuits LOL LOL i just can't help it!
