True, but several grocery chains in this area have a form to tell them what you want, but can't find, so they can stock it permanently. They don't *want* you going to Vic's IGA every time you run out of that item, because they know that as long as you're going there for one item, you're going to do the rest of your shopping at Vic's, too, that week.
I don't see that as a threat to Vic's, but as a helpful attempt to provide what the customer wants in this neighborhood, so I don't have to take two buses to get to Vic's.
