Same in my area. Just when the stores seem to begin to catch up another doom and gloom report comes out and everyone runs out to by another weeks worth of food. I spoke with a manager yesterday and they said it’s not the supplies are limited for the most part with the excepting of sanitizer wipes and the like, it’s the sheer volume people are panic buying.
They had a 3/4 mile long backup of trucks trying to enter one DC a coupe days ago. Some depts that normally would need 150 cases each delivery were generating orders in excess of 1000 cases but the DC was cutting items to try to triage it. Even then deliveries were running 36-48 hours late.
I can see I-75 from my window, and it’s normally busy, busy, busy — sometimes at a standstill it’s so packed. It’s been pretty sparse for a week when it comes to cars, but the amount of trucks has increased a lot.
