I even noticed empty shelves in my local dollar store when I used to have to walk around the shelf stockers all the time. I don't have cats but I feed 3 semi wild cats. Suddenly the food I buy for them is not available. I finally checked at Tractor Supply and had to buy a 20 lb bag.
A grocery store manager told me the other day that the supply trucks have been running late because they were short on drivers. At another grocery store (Krogers) I overheard an employee kvetching about workers being sent home because the trucks weren’t coming. Also noticing the price of bacon seems to have jumped again.
