coffee crisis

ok, so.....i shop in the same stores, and reach for the same products unless there is a compelling reason to choose otherwise.....minimal decision anxiety....on to the next task....until this morning, when i reached for my usual ground coffee (8'o'clock hazelnut)...a bargain with or without the shoppers card discount.....but my usual brand was not there.....its shelf tag was also gone.....seems it made way for additional varieties of starbucks or store brand.....i have been using this coffee for as long as i can remember.....at least 10 years and likely more.....and so i was forced to select a different brand of hazelnut coffee.....and i studied and i contemplated and while i was deep in thought a fellow holding a huge slab of raw ribs (shrink-wrapped, of course) asked me if i knew where he could find sauerkraut....... that i did know....and i suggested the bush's bavarian with caraway seeds......but back to the coffee.....i ended up going random with the non-starbucks flavors......just in case they were to blame for the disruption to my routine.....
