No bulk white mushrooms. No packaged white mushrooms. Criminis, yes. Portobellos, yes. But I wanted white mushrooms to sauté and put on chicken!
Safeway’s ordinarily pretty good, but there’s one big flaw with the place: they don’t do any of the buying locally. They buy local veg, but the authorizations are all done out of corporate HQ. So you can suggest the store carry something, but the managers can only pass the request along to the purchasers in Pleasanton and hope they’re listening. It’s annoying.
I feel for you.
There are certain things that if I want to get them, I have to go to specific grocery stores.
And it has struck me as a bit bizarre is that some of the somewhat more pricey kind of options, are sometimes only located at “cheaper chains” in less affluent neighborhoods.
