One of my kids works for a wholesale food distributor. The company - and the companies they do business with - are facing critical labor shortages. People (younger Americans) simply do not want to work. They can’t fill warehouse, inventory, or delivery jobs. And they are using the coof as an excuse.

As a direct result orders are being delayed, scheduled deliveries are stacking up or being missed. Often the deliverymen are arriving at the stores only to find the doors shuttered because there was no one on duty to receive the delivery. Same with inbound deliveries. Massive and all~too~common interruptions to deliveries are being experienced.

A huge, extremely complex, and utterly critical ecosystem supporting the food market has been compromised by the architects of the Plandemic.

And it is only going to get worse.

There’s a young guy I work with - a CNA (Certified Nurses Assistant) who is in school to get the specialized license to drive trucks. He’ll make TONS of money doing this as a career and he knows it. Smart youngin’.

And it not wages. Base pay for the wharehouse staff where I work is $15.00 and hour plus the option for up to 10-20 hours of OT a week. For my area of the SE US that is a very good wage. Job includes high end health care plan, 401k, dental, life insurace etc as well as annual bonuses

Still cannot get enough workers

Thanks for posting. Confirms my suspicions as to why more and more bad food is turning up in the stores. Food is in danger of not being transported in a timely manner - it takes damage or even turns bad by the time it reaches destination. You really have to watch out for items from the cold counter (ie. sandwich meats, cheeses, hot dogs, sausage, yogurt, butter, ready-to-heat sides and so forth), discoloration, puffed up packaging and so forth, also look hard at fresh or prepackaged fruits and vegetables, canned goods - everything. And be darn sure to check expirations particularly on the fresh stuff. I keep running into instances where no one has rotated it out and it's sat there for weeks - even several months - out of date.

 

When I went out shopping several days ago, ran into a good bit of sketchy food on the shelves. Picked up packages of tortillas that had bunch of moisture on the inside of them. Found bags of chocolate-centric trail mix that had melted together. Every single bag was a solid brick, you'd have to use a hammer and chisel to get it apart, yet they put it out on the shelf anyway. There were other bags of snacks and chips that were swollen up to where they looked like they were about to burst. That stuff was bad, had baked in the heat for a while, maybe even in direct sunlight. You don't get that when it is handled from distribution to the store in a timely manner.
