TACO BELL AND STARBUCKS WARN ABOUT SHORTAGES (supply chain)
Restaurant Business ^ | 7-19-21 | Jonathan Maze

Supply chain problems continue to plague the restaurant industry, leading big chains Taco Bell and Starbucks to warn consumers on Monday that some items may not be available.

Starbucks told customers on its app that “due to supply shortages, some items are temporarily unavailable.”

That echoed warnings that have persisted at the chain’s locations for months. Consumers have complained on social media channels about periodic shortages of items such as green tea.

At Taco Bell, customers are complaining about a lack of hot sauce. The Mexican fast-food chain’s website warns customers that not all items are available at the moment.

The company, owned by the Louisville, Ky.-based Yum Brands, blamed transportation problems for the shortages.

“Due to national transportation delays happening throughout most of the industry, we may be temporarily out of some items,” the company said in a statement. “Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope to feed fans’ current Taco Bell cravings again soon.”

Restaurants have faced shortages of everything from sauces to pickles to chicken wings in recent months due to a host of issues—including weather problems in Texas and intense demand from consumers coupled with supply limitations.

~~~

Right.

It’s not like we are having a crop, livestock, or natural resource shortage. The problem is the democrat sanctioned human productivity shortage, to which their new “human infrastructure” bill is meant to prolong.

Green tea shortages have been known to rot previously vibrant cultures. A lack of hot sauce has precipitated wars. The US government must intervene quickly.

Is this a recent development? As in recent months? Since the past year?

Well, if the one near me is any indicator, it's their own damned fault. I order three tacos and get 27 packs of hot sauce.

Number one, Grenada does produce more nutmeg than any other place on Earth.

Number two, the Soviets and Cubans were trying to take Grenada.

Number three, you can't make eggnog without nutmeg.

Number four, you can't have Christmas without eggnog.

Number five, the Soviets and the Cubans were trying to steal Christmas.

And, number six, we stopped them.

Shortages at either of those businesses will have no impact on me. I make better coffee and much better nachos, tacos and burritos.
