By the 10th store I finally realized that most of the DG have the single pack Joes in stock but they are just not putting them out because literally none of the DG stores I went to had a hook (or section) to hang them on with their price. So most of them are in the plastic bins that come off their truck. Also The DG manager's are usually some of the dumbest people on earth and will just lie to you and say "if it aint out on the isle then it aint here" which has been a lie on 3 occasions that I've had. These people are usually very lazy or pissed of if you ask for help to look in the back. You have to be very pushy and get an employee to dig around in the back.
The positive DG visits were in Green Cove FL (Greater Jacksonville), 1 in Gainesville where the manager was super nice and ordered me two cases, and last in Newberry Fl where bless her heart, Tammy the manager, who I think was flirting with me (odd) also said she'd order 2 cases and they'd be there this Friday.
Luckily I have to drive all over north central Fl for other reasons anyways so its not too bad to hunt them.
So be pushy and ask them to check in the back and follow them back there and watch them so they really do it. Also see if the manager will order you a case or 2 and save it for you. I have like 5 cases being held for me at 3 stores cuz of this.
Good Luck!!!
Which store in Gainesville did you get your two cases ordered from so I know to not bother with it. and Damn man leave a few figs out there for me!
