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.

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.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

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.
