BRING BACK RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA!!

It's back, I just bought it at my local store in Indiana. I can't
believe it!

Sounds like there are a lot of other people in the same boat you are,
since you found a number of people blogging about it (I blog about
stuff like that too :-P) Hopefully they consider bringing it back.
Maybe they will if enough people request it. (hey, it worked for that
awful show jerico... no offense fans of the show)

But, dont let the message of your letter get clouded by a poor choice
of words. You have a (good) point you would like to get across but
some of the comments you have made can be distracting. (like calling
people idiots and jerks)

I find the frito-lay representative silly... why does frito-lay need
one, especially at a grocery store? Seems like a waste of payroll to
me :-P

I read more complaints on this site about Frito Lay's Restaurant Salsa
being discontinued. My store runs almost a million a week, which is a
high volume store. I deal with complaint and requests for items all
the time, and have not once gotten one about this item.

I got a phone call this morning, before a meeting from a customer
asking why Postum coffee was discontinued. I have heard that
complaint at least 10 times so far. I explained that Kraft
discontinued the coffee, not us. Apparently it is the coffee for
mormons due to it being caffeine free.

I'll ask my Frito Lay Rep tomorrow and see what they tell me.

Good Day

Your complaint is valid but poorly worded. You may try to be nice to
people to their face, but calling them jerks and idions in your letter
kind of cancels that out. Also, "As a matter of fact, I own a
business, I have a state and federal tax id, I would be happy to buy
it by the case. I run a computer service business and don't know where
salsa would fit in, " What does having a state or federal tax ID have
to do with buying it by the case. At our store, you can use your tax
ID if you state the the products are for resale but not just because
you really really like the stuff.

Withdrawel, OUCH! I empathize with you. Hopefully they will listen to
their customers requests about this one.

In the meantime, if you still have a label with the ingredients you
can either try to recreate it to some degree, or compare it to other's
in the supermarket to get something close or similar.

Let us know what they say.

From my friend who works at the corporate offices of Frito-Lay:

"Yes, it has been disco'd for a while now. The Tostitos Picante Salsa
is the replacement. It isn't quite the same but close."

(This same friend has traded brands, favoring a more local brand over
her own company's!)

Try the Picante style in that brand. It is closer to Restaurant Style
than the original salsa.

We have seen quite a few salsa letters in the last few weeks.

I had no idea folks could be so passionate about such things.

Maybe there was something addicting in it?

"Just to show the rep what an idiot he is (and you should fire him) I
reached over and bought Chi-Chi's salsa. Nearly as bad as your
original, but I was not about to listen to this insensitive idiot.
Because I try to be a decent person I didn't tell him what a jerk he
is."

And you are sensitive asking to have this delivery person fired??

Try making your own. Its very easy to do and you will not ever go back
to bottled/pre-made salsa again. You can make as little or as much as
you want.

Also try the outlet stores like Big Lot..they may have a few cases of
Restaurant Style in stock. They buy up all the cases from warehouses
all across the country.

And while I get a bit irritated when my favorite products are
discontinued I have never asked to have someone fired over it. Calm
down...its just salsa.

Have you considered trying other brands? I have found that the
natural/organic brands, such as Paul Newman's or Salsa Lisa, are the
best I've ever had! Tostito's, ChiChis and all the rest just take
like chunky ketchup to me.
