Sometimes I feel like I'm personally responsible for a store's ordering system going haywire. Like, a store can stock like 1 or 2 of the item a month and be fine , then I become fixated on it and they need to start stocking 20+. By the time the store catches up with me ive moved on and they are stuck with dozens of that item.

I have literally seen this happen to my local dollar general with Cheese-Its Extra Toasted. They used to never stock them. I randomly caught a hankering for them after trying them out.

They went from only ever having maybe 5 boxes on the shelf to having it 3 rows of 5 deep after a month.

After 3 months I lost the hankering. Still get me a box every now and then though. They still keep that shelf filled.

To be fair though, extra toated Cheese-its are goated.
