Really no excuse for that just like when that pops place runs out of clams. I don’t get it. Not good business!

to reopen this “Can of Clams” but in fairness to Pop’s...they don’t “run out” because they don’t run a good business or don’t know what they are doing.. Here is the owner’s explanation from last year, it makes perfect sense to me:
We order our seafood on Thursdays for a Friday delivery. As you know weather can change dramatically here in New England. Our business is very weather dependant. If it is at all rainy our business slows dramatically. The sun comes out we literally go from zero to wide open. I order carfully depending on what is forcasted. Throwing out clams is not an option at $130 a gallon. Dry scallops and frying clams can not be just picked up at the grocery store. We do our best not to run out but only being open three days a week in the spring makes that a tuff goal to make some times.
Running a seasonal restaurant is tough, let’s support them with our business while we can!
