Joe Biden Claims Shelves Are Well Stocked as Grocers Ration Food
Breitbart ^ | 11/24/2021 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

President Joe Biden tweeted Wednesday that supermarket shelves are well stocked across the country while grocers ration food.

“For all those concerns a few weeks ago that there would not be ample food available for Thanksgiving, families can rest easy today,” Biden claimed.

“Grocery stores are well-stocked with turkey and everything else you need,” the president added.

Meanwhile, Publix Supermarkets, a Florida-based grocer, warned customers this week to expect food shortages in all 1,280 stores across the southeast.

It’s spotty. I went to Trader Joe’s yesterday in a CA suburb. Some items were gone, especially many cheeses. Other items were there as normal. Meat was there but twice the price as pre-pandemic.

TJ’s imports many foods and also has mom-and-pop suppliers.

When getting the ingredients together for a batch of chili at our very large “go to” grocery store, I could not find a bottle of ground cumin on the shelf. There were three brands there, and all three had seed cumin, but not one bottle of the ground stuff. I did find what I was looking for at Walmart, of all places.

There have been empty shelves all year... Sometimes stuff is in stock, sometimes not. The three cheese rosa pasta sauce I like has been out of stock since the middle of last year. The stores are getting better at filling in the empty space that used to be occupied by a familiar brand with whatever similar stuff they do have, or failing that with just anything they randomly pick from the back room.

Publix is rationing. Walmart limits certain items too.

Stocker staff are also in short supply, judging by the help wanted ads and the harried look on the faces of the ones I have seen.

Our Food Lion appears to be well stocked if you look from the end of the isles.

Walk the isles and you notice empty spots. One product will be missing for over a week and then something else is gone.

There were no chicken thighs at Sam’s Club yesterday. That’s a regular purchase in the ModelBreaker household.

If you want really good chili, toast those cumin seeds and bring them with a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder...

I went food shopping at Weis Market, and a local Giant, and the shelves are stocked 1-2 items deep, and inventory spread-out along shelves, to appear well-stocked. They aren’t, here in York, PA.

Well it's the day before Thanksgiving. There is bare pickings in a lot of stores. The Publix grocery store near my house was pretty well stocked though.

Brandon hasn’t been in a grocery store for 50 years, except maybe to campaign.

re: “Where are there empty shelves?”

Kroger has been down to only one brand of raisins for months on end now ...

Interesting, we live in Northern Illinois. My wife ordered groceries to be delivered. Her shopper texted her a picture of the cheese section- zip, zero, nada.
