bad internet shopping experience

[solipsistnation]

www.cheese.com appears to be staffed by morons (barring the now-similarly-annoyed customer service guy who has the misfortune to be between me and the people who have managed to hold up my order by an extra week).

NOT recommended. Go with igourmet.com or something for your mail-order fancy cheese needs.

cheese.com's gift certificate system appears to be very messed up, too, to the point where nobody actually knows what to do with gift certificate orders.

Plus, they used to be just www.cheesesupply.com, but appear to have acquired the cheese.com domain. This annoys me, since cheese.com used to be a non-commercial(!) site devoted to an in-depth list of cheeses, with descriptions, ingredients, types of milk and so on, as well as recommended wines and things. That useful list is now gone, replaced with their commercial sales site.

Anyway, I am pissed off now. I was hoping to have nice cheese last weekend. I was then hoping to have nice cheese today. I am now hoping to have nice cheese tomorrow, or, perhaps, Friday. Gurm.

No cheese today. Cheese tomorrow. There's always cheese tomorrow.

(There's a farmer's market a few blocks from work which has some guys who make their own (raw milk) cheeses. This week, I am having for my elevenses one they call "Myfanwy", which is mild and tasty and I don't mind eating it without a cracker.)

Behold, the power of late cheese.

Of course, now after spending some time on igourmet I am craving cheese in the worst way. :)

I live about a mile from these guys, who have a self-serve fridge for people to buy cheese from. Their wasabe goat cheese is AMAZING. It makes me like goat cheese. 8)

Go to trader Joes to get yourself a cheap delicious cheese fix

bad internet/catalog shopping experiences

My Mum just had a terrible time with target.com aka signals.com aka Marshall Fields, both Internet and phone. Was Internet shopping always this stupid and we just put up with it because it was new and nifty? Or is it cheaper to keep stupid people on staff?

Have you tried buying cheese from Kat Feete of the Culture's farm? I can't remember what it's called but I'm sure Asking the List will sort you out.

"'Scuse me, mate, is this a cheese shop?"

"Er... no. No it isn't."

"Well, there's that sketch knackered, then, innit!"
