I wonder why no store in the world offers customers the option to “order” items onto the shelves. For example, I drove to a store three miles from home to buy my favorite wine. It’s not available at the store a mile away, or I would have bought it there. Clearly, a store’s inventory management should not be based solely on the wishes of one customer, but stores don’t even seem to be moving in the direction of listening to this customer.

For instance, there could be a way for customers to suggest items, like “why not bring in that awesome cottage cheese”, and then, if the store brings this cottage cheese and it sells as expected, the customer could get some perks, like discounts or gifts.
