Appetizing and Salad Bar - such deterioration in all ways

There are four near me and I feel they’ve really deteriorated in availability, ingredients, consistency and the offerings.
The appetizing area in the store closest to me has been like 25% occupied. It’s empty and hardly anything in there and what’s there does not look very good. The salad bar is using more and more oils in the ingredients and it seems a lot of the stuff is now more the prepared food and it just seems to have a decline and what they offer in some of the things like the more expensive items have like disappeared. From day-to-day you can’t tell really what you’re going to get. I’ve gone there at times to get a salad bar which I’ve been doing for 20 or 30 years and I wind up with nothing because I can’t find anything on there that’s decent like I always did. And the bulk bins where they would normally have several types of nuts. They’re mostly empty and in many cases there’s one out of six or seven and the other ones just sit empty or they’ve removed them or they don’t sell them anymore or they’ve replaced organic whole natural with oil and roasted and everything else. Sorry to vent. It’s a bit shocking as they always walked on water and I’m not seeing that any longer at all. They seem to have become one less place you can depend upon.

Informed Delivery notifications not working now either

Now this isn’t working either as the text notifications for packages aren’t. What’s the story?

Text Update tracking on Packages

The whole text update system on Packages is totally not working. They’re the worst I’ve ever seen. They change the selection boxes down to three but one of them is all updates and none of it is working.

QuickBooks PAP Bundle Matter

Can anybody recommend how to get around using the Accountant’s Copy for an Enterprise client but still do the service in some manner. I’m doubtful because they seem to now cut you off from everything even though they’re sunsetting the program if you don’t pay them the crazy $. In a state of shock here that this increased from 6/25 to now from about $1,599 to $2,399. I have 2 clients needed for this (on Enterprise and I do acct's copy for those files) and while their fees exceed this, I'm still thinking about how I can do this without having to incur this expense. One of them pays for the software to little or no avail or benefit. Help!

Not sending text updates for shipments from 🆔

Typically not working they changed the selections for these updates, but now you select all on a shorter list and it tells you to accept some kind of a welcome message which you never receive. The whole thing isn’t working. Nothing surprising. Perhaps they’re devoting all their resources now to stop the mail-in voting.

Do they even tell you (any longer) when a package won't arrive on time!

I signed up for all the updates and this package was supposed to arrive today and had a time window of 10:30 to 2:30 EST, isn't close to FL but in IN now. At what point, do they update this stuff and come to a realization that it's not happening?

Leuchtturm free shipping through Memorial Day it’s great news until……

I went to buy the one I wanted; there are zero 411s regardless of color and finish unfortunately. The free shipping stopped it from getting over $40 which was a barrier that I did not feel like crossing or getting too close to.

Staple Day Live

I wasn’t able to attend this past week when they held this event, but I was wondering what took place did anybody go and can maybe fill me in? Was it only offering this Ambition package for the $65?

Kokuyo huge price increases - Finewriter

They increased all their prices on pens by 40%+. The free shipping threshold now $155 vs. about $100. I was lucky a a few months back there to snag the deep green LE for about $84. I was back looking for another one now. The basis black or silver went from $63 to $88. The two new 2026 LE colors are now $124, which I would compare to the $84. Even the refills jumped by 35%. Unbelievable.

I’m losing it over this one. I was thinking to start passing on some of the monthlies. Not this month. Here comes the color that many were waiting for.

What do you do about fees and costs, etc.? They couldn't email me the documents. I have to get to my P.O. Box, pick it up, review it and I filed for the extension due to their fault and I have to pay the PPR to Ultra Tax and the EF fee.

Are these similar to the original Kraft Field Notes 3 packs or the Kraft Plus with their solid colors and plain books.

ONE YEAR OLD

I’m not rough with it. I’m willing to buy another case but it’s amazing how you can’t find one for under the $49 for an older model now.
