Odd. Me and my mom went shopping. No shortage.

That was around Christmas. No shortage at Kroger's and Walmart. Long lines to be sure, but plenty of supply.

At Kroger's supermarket, this is what it looked like at that time.

The thing is everyone gets to evaluate the situation for themselves, we all have a front row seat to watch what is happening in our stores.

The only item at my store that seems to have selection that is somewhat limited is cat food.
 
LOL. You should see it now. Quite a few empty shelves. Somebody did a good job shoring that up so that Christmas didn't suck for everybody who doesn't shop in October, but right now they aren't doing so well. It seems that folks that live by the ports have full shelves, folks that live in "flyover" country, not so much. This seems to be most likely due to the shortage of truck drivers.

I should tell an anecdotal story and find an image of empty shelves. You'd all believe me, right? Then Cypress could chime in and tell you how he personally has had no problem so nobody could have.

While my story is true, you proved the point.
 
New Years was horrible here for both bread and produce...many stores were almost out of both for several days....we were told because of labor problems.....large numbers of people refusing to turn up to work around the Holidays.

I went to Walmart yesterday. Plenty of food and supplies, but selections were skewed. No red bell peppers, just yellow and some softening orange ones. No wheat crackers, but plenty of whole grain and regular. There were gaps of empty shelves in almost every section.

"While there is plenty of food in the supply chain, we anticipate consumers will continue to experience sporadic disruptions in certain product categories as we have seen over the past year and half due to the continued supply and labor challenges," said Greg Ferrara, the group's president and CEO.

Awesome. A third of the nation has chosen not to vaccinate and most of them are out sick? Irony noted.
