[UC] Re: shelf life in chain stores

2004-01-22 Thread Daniel Widyono
Most chains today are extremely efficient in tracking shelf life of products. If something does not sell within a week or two -- it gets yanked and replaced by something which does. A problem with this lies in *adding* new (or old but not stocked for a while) products, perhaps a resurgence

Thanks for the forward. Does anyone have a pointer to the original legislation, or anything else that would explain whether or not this also applies to commercial establishments which abut or exist within residential communities? Dan W. City Council Will Let Police Write Tickets for Loud

The last time I was in Yugoslavia (yes, that's dating myself), I thought the pectopans (which is where they go out to eat in the Serbian neighborhoods) were terrible. I thought the cucumbers and goat cheese in the PECTOPANs were great, if not repetitive... Dubrovnik was beautiful (now
