All I Wanted Was Some Soup
Dear Raley's/NobHill,
OK, while I appreciate that Raley's want's to broaden their Customer's palette by bringing in and trying new things I don't appreciate not being able to purchase something that is a store standard, for that matter, a grocery industry standard. Why you deem it necessary to introduce new soups into the Campbell side counter, while removing something that has been a standard of our lives for over 40 years is beyond me.
You also did not just pull the standard cans, you pulled the big ones off the bottom shelves also. WAY TO GIVE THE CUSTOMER AN OPTION!
How about instead you pull out the Raley's brand soups that are stuffed in there, thin out the double-triple wide spaced low sellers, including the new flavorless fat-free ones, compress another part of the side counter, and give us our soup back.
The one redeeming thing is we are going to try the BumbleBee Clam Chowder instead, but honestly, WHY MESS UP A GOOD THING? I might as well take the option and have gone to Safeway, FoodMax, or Food 4 Less because at least they will have it in-stock.
*What are you going to pull off the shelves next, Wonder Bread?

Already did, was told to email their corporate side also, so I figured I'd share the rant here too.
That BumbleBee Clam Chowder is horrible, they should stick to tuna-fish. Some bean-counting corporate schmuck got an envelope full of cash because there's no legitimate reason anyone would want this junk. They basically bought out Snow's and ruined the recipe: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/820906 I buy Campbell's because at least it still tasted the same all these years, unlike Snow's.

Are you mad about SOUP? Then you probably don't want to know that they shrunk the "family" size cans by a few Oz. and are charging the same price...
You know it is practically easier to MAKE soup than to BUY it?
Eat a sammich!
