Her little Ring of Fire has been extinguished. For the past week she's moaned to everyone in a uniform she could grab by the ear. Her particular favourite 'brand' of fag are not in stock. Pea Brain dealt with her initially, took the details and left a message for the Big Swinging Dick to add them to the next order. Whether or not he did is now a moot point.
A range of products are produced by our suppliers. We purchase a slightly restricted range from them. In turn individual stores may only order products set out in their individual 'plan'. But between plan editions specific products may be withdrawn either briefly (supply chain disruption), temporarily (as for example when a repackaging or re-branding is underway) or permanently. When that happens the product is flagged as delisted. It can't be ordered. But it is an indication that it will come back in at some time.
Sometimes the Powers That Be decide no longer to stock a product. When that decision is taken the product is flagged as DELETED on the ordering system and no amount of string pulling will get them into stock.
Madame, your Cancer Sticks have been Deleted. You can be as rude to me as you can, but that won't change things. We Ain't Stocking 'Em No More. Geddit?
And if you can't find another brand of fag to smoke you can always spend the money you save on an Anger Management Course.
