Whether it's a shortage of grocery items or prices skyrocketing at stores—shoppers aren't happy. Due to supply chain issues that have caused strain on major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, Costco, customers are experiencing frustrations while shopping for food and other daily essentials at their local stores.
We reached out to our readers on Facebook and Twitter and asked them to share about the specific grocery shortages that are currently frustrating them the most. Customers from around the U.S. wrote in their current frustrations at stores—and a few repeated items popped up from shopper complaints.
Now that Covid19 panic is dropping off, Washington has Food Shortage Panic warming up in the Bullpen. They will use the shortage of dog food to demand control over US Food Production.
DON'T BE A SUCKER!
She buried the lead in worthless drivel
I just can't imagine a logical reason for a 2 year shortage of pasta.
As for cats, just slide them a can of tuna or sardines. They will be happier for it. Or they can go outside and catch a bird to eat.
How about reaching out to your followers on Gettr or Gab? Oh, wait...you don’t have any.
The shortage of cat food can be explained by the milder variants of covid. Not a great supply of corpses in China to use for batching feedstock...
Hardship upon hardship..
Oh goodie, we are on our way back to having to spend days trying to find some toilet paper.
I guess there are always streets and elevators.
Nor a reason for caring about it, in my case. 🤣
We here at home are not outraged or in panic mode.
We are prepared
I was just in the store the other day and noted that I could only get spaghetti or farfalle and my favorite pasta shape was not on the shelf. A person could starve under those circumstances./sarcasm
The issue of lack of consumer choice is underlain by the huge supply chain issues that affect commerce in much more important goods than the right kind of kitty litter. It starts with the idiotic decision to offshore our most critical manufacturing capabilities and continues to regulatory idiocy in the US. COVID is the precipitating factor, but the fragility of the supply chain was the problem to start with.
large boxes of childrens cereals is annoying as hell, and shockingly I needed some electrical boxes (the plastic blue ones that go inside the walls) and there were NONE at lowes. Usually an ENTIRE ISLE of them!
I’m outraged that the idiots “in charge” are doing this crap on purpose.
Everything the PedoJoe admin does is to create and exacerbate things like this so they can swoop in and claim to be the solution.
Were those old work or new work boxes?
Didn't Ayn Rand once write about this, in her essay "The Virtue of Shellfishness"? Or maybe that was about Hayek's view of oysters, which are probably also part of the Great Food Shortage.
(FRiends, three weeks ago I made a fearless prediction that the next Leftist Crisis would have something to do with food shortage, and voila...)
This is true-
I went to three grocery stores last week and they had NOTHING except the whole wheat bulls!t and specialty pastas made with lentils and chickpeas. I ended up buying food lion store brand lasagna sheets.
I was most concerned I couldn’t get fresh cranberries over Christmas. I know it was a production problem in Wisconsin, but I told every every clerk, “We never had a shortage when Trump was President!” Got a few angry looks
6) Neutrogena TGel Shampoo.
This is a coal tar base shampoo. It has been missing from
all drug & grocery stores since last August. All the generic versions have also been unavailable.
Probably in better health today without a Costco sized package of pasta anyway. Stupid thing to be upset about, pasta is easy to make at home and tastes much better than store bought.
The shortages I see at the grocery store does make one shake their heads. Sometimes here on the northwest left coast my city’s only grocer, IGA, can look like a store in a poor area of Venezuela with entire aisles of shelving sparsely stocked. Last week from Friday evening to last Monday morning you could not find a gallon of milk in a 50 mile radius of town. Even though we’re surrounded by dairies.
It almost seems coordinated.
