Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.
"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It. But what about food? Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

At least flour makes sense. It can be stored and used. Over stocking eggs just means you will waste them.
People are so selfish, they don’t care. Just one more reason for my strong dislike of people. I’m glad dogs exist.
Forget about it.
Right now where I live it’s easier to get chickens than eggs.
Waffles?
Because in the up-to-minute inventory systems, they take what has been sold and compare to the what is onhand and move the order up or down in accordance to the numbers.
And every loaf of bread is gone. Suddenly, no one has any “gluten allergies”.
My friend works at a dairy. He said they have been getting slammed with high demand. They expect it to drop very soon - once people have stuffed their refrigerators with 5 gallons of milk, they realize they don’t drink it any faster than before.
Screw that. I just want a chicken.
Sell me a chicken!
I’ve seen runs on pasta, rice, and bacon.
Now look for runs on butter, maple syrup and yeast.
You obviously have not met my son.
“For some reason there has been a run on eggs and flour.”
Basics.
You make meals with them.
You mean people can actually cook meals from scratch?
I’ve got six months of supplies.
Oh, so I know where to go when I run out.
No, I also have six months of ammo.
“And every loaf of bread is gone. Suddenly, no one has any “gluten allergies”.”
LOL
We haven’t found our regular bread for 2-3 weeks. Ended up ordering some TP online, but not so much that we have to make arrangements to store it.
I don’t understand why toilet paper is being hoarded. Chicomvirus isn’t a gastrointestinal disease like Asiatic cholera. It’s a respiratory ailment.
What about Pepsi Free?
“And every loaf of bread is gone. Suddenly, no one has any “gluten allergies”.”
I saw the bread shelf cleaned out except for the weird gluten free bread.
And it wasn’t just some of it was left. It’s like it wasn’t touched.
