Conundrum
Posted by TFG on January 28th, 2008
Why in the hell can’t I find a can of Bon Ami in San Antonio?
They say they sell it at the hometown favorite* HEB, but I’ve tried three stores with no luck. I’m reduced to something called Bar Keeper’s Friend. What-effin’-ever. Next trip to Dallas, I’m buying a case of the good stuff, man.
* It pretty much sucks having one dang grocery store to go to. This town could use some competition outside of the Wal-Mart firing at ‘em, but the grocery business is as low-margin as the bar biz or the restaurant biz. Why bother? All these folks are trained to go to HEB, just like they keep eating Bill Miller’s crappy BBQ. The company town aspect of this city is one of the very few drawbacks. C’est la vie, huh? Could be lots worse.

Charlene swears by Barkeepers Friend. and I’m always amazed by how it cleans copper pans.
So, I went to the store the other day to buy her some, and what did they have instead? Bon Ami!
If things get bad we may need to have reciprocal shipments going here.
