It's a ball dahlia. Dahlias come in different varieties. The spider one is pretty too.

I think they want to avoid the losses. But I was agreeable with Vincent as two or three loaves does not make too much a different.

He does indeed. It will never become a high seller while they keep getting just two loaves.

Food that does not sell goes stale. May be she is afraid of that. Yes She can give it a try That is called taking risk in business and business without risk will never grow

I would think that if two loaves sell then possibly a third would too. It wouldn't be too much of a risk.

I hppe his logic does work and they stock more of the bread that he likes.

He has a point. They definitely know two get sold , why not stock two or three extra and see if those increase.They could try atleast for a week and then not proceed if there is no sucess.Plus, I do not think they have really gauged the number of customers who are looking for the particular bread. If they see some things are getting sold out, would say increase by a bit to see whats the actual demand for the product. And since it is food item ,it can be used in case people are not taking in time. His logic does make sense.Well, hope the shop would try the logic and see the results. Have a wonderful day ahead!

They should definitely try putting out one more at a time each week or every other to see if they sell more loaves. If it always sells out that doesn’t make much sense not to keep the shelf stocked.

Two loaves is a bit silly. We often have to buy something else because our preferred brand is all gone.

It is like a wholemeal loaf and is supposed to have 9 different grains in it. A lot of our bread is highly processed white bread but multi-grain, 9-grain and wholemeal are supposed to be healthier.

Anywhere that sell products with a short shelf life must be careful not to over stock because of waste. I guess three a day must be too much, unless Vince starts buying a 9 grain loaf every day. Maybe he could order in advance? Personally I’m not surprised it’s not a big seller, as I prefer the 8 seed loaf - less seedy.

@JudyEv They must have ordered an extra on especially for Vince. Now that he has bought two it’s probably got them confused. I think Vince is playing mind games.

You really should consider 9 grains. It's far superior! And guess what? Today they had 3 loaves of 9 grain and Vince bought 2 of them. I wonder how much they'll have tomorrow!

I agree with you, they should try stocking four loaves. Love the flower, was associating it with a different kind of “flour” for bread.

I'd like to say 'flower' and 'flour' was deliberate but my mind wasn't thinking that way.

As long as people buy something else instead of complaining and not buying the bread they have on hand, the owner probably won't stock more of what you want. She has no reason to stock more when the customers still buy bread from them. *shrug*

That's true but maybe if we mention it often enough they might get a bit more of the one we like.

If that is the case, I would actually buy a little more and stock up only two. When one is sold, I will add one more so that by the time the shop was closed, I could earn more than 2 loaves of bread. It is quite surprising to have 2 loaves been always sold out. In my country, we eyed two loaves of bread with suspicious look as they could either be left over from last night or the early mornings. Some of us will not perceived the bread as fresh even through we buy them at night for consumption on the next morning (the ironic I know).

We buy two when we can and freeze one. Vince often has a banana sandwich for lunch and we have toast in the morning. He doesn't mind if the bread is a day or two old.

It makes sense to me plus if they stocked say one shelf of bread and people sow others buying it they might also start buying and sales would increase,

Do you ever bake bread? The only bread I bake is King Arthur gluten free bread which is sure better than any of the grocery store brands on the shelf. Maybe Vince will convince your grocer to stock more of his favorite.

We had a bread maker for a while but found we were eating too much so in the end we sold it.

This is REALLY similar to a discussion with a cashier at our local Panera. I met a friend there for lunch, and after we ate, he went up to buy a baguette, which sat by itself in a lucite container on the counter. He noted that there was only one there and that every time he came in, there was only one. The cashier said "We only make one". He asked why, and was met with the answer, "We only sell one". "Well you can hardly sell more than one if you only make one," I pointed out. We laughed about it, but I'm guessing that they used to make more than one and never sold more than one, so they decided to save their dough!
