Quote HistoryQuoted: Same here. Oversold but we have production interruptions for lack of employees. Most times if one person calls of the line is down. Everyone on 12 hour shifts ( instead of 8) for months which had lead to the loss of many employees some in senior positions. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My best friend works for a company that makes all sorts of paint products, including spray paint. Components, chemicals, transportation, lack of workers, it's all hitting their business. The craziest part of it all is their order books are slammed full. They literally can't make enough to fill their orders for all the above reasons. Same here. Oversold but we have production interruptions for lack of employees. Most times if one person calls of the line is down. Everyone on 12 hour shifts ( instead of 8) for months which had lead to the loss of many employees some in senior positions. Yeah, I'd bail too at some point. It's always ''I can't find workers'' instead of management blaming themselves and at some point, they are doing something wrong. Hours, pay, beni's, working conditions. I would bet that if 100% of ALL management and office staff and the owner spent that time at the company [and NOT working ''off site''] they would get a clue that line/factory floor employees will only put up with that for so long before they look elsewhere for work. And right now is the perfect time to do that. One doesn't usually quit a bad business, they quit a bad boss or incompetent management. Right now, hiring should be proactive instead of reactive, especially if a business has the work. I seldom see it put into practice.[even where I work] Mandatory long term OT is the first sign of incompetent upper management. The blame is on them. And the older more senior [and usually the most knowledgeable] employees WILL leave at some point, it will break them physically even if their minds are perfectly fine and they will take what they have learned elsewhere. The snowball effect is very real when it comes to employees, the loss starts as a trickle and ends up a flood. |

I had a helluva time finding shoelaces yesterday. I went to 3 stores, and they all had 1-2 sets in the middle of a rack of bare hooks.
If you see a guy today with brown boot laces in his reddish/tan leather dress boots, that's probably me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My brother-in-law is a truck driver he says they arent unloading the container ships. so its being done intentionally. He told me this weekend that Christmas stuff from China is just now being unloaded and theres now way in hell its going to make the shelves this year. It has to go through the supply chain. It's not being done intentionally... The ports of LA and Long Beach do not run 24/7 like Euro ports, and they do not have enough drivers to pick up containers to move them, and the Railroads do not have enough to move them to DC's. It's a Systematic issue of JIT and it's magnified by Covid lockdowns, Paying people to stay home and people hoarding shit. |

My grocery was stocked well. I think it depends when you go. Sunday evenings most people have shopped. And ebt days and now advanced child tax credit. The food items for kids’ lunches and breakfasts seem thinner, but that’s about it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Welcome to the new normal. It's going to get worse.......much worse. Yup. Gov is bad at fixing problems, in general most problems are caused by government. However, Democrats are extra, extra bad at fixing problems since their base beliefs are often fantasy based, and the end result is they are simply incapable of fixing problems, any “ solution” they dream up will fuck up the original problem 2x worse as well as fuck up 3 other things which were working fine, not to mention costing billions to implement. Gonna get WAY, WAY worse. |

It seems the aisles are getting wider and I’m seeing more open floorspace in the middle near the clothing section at the Wal-Marts near me.
It’s very noticeable when you can remember when every inch of floorspace was maximized for product placement. |

Hit walmart in RI Friday, CT on Sunday.
RI - the clothing section was lacking, I went looking for wranglers and every clothing item was spread out.to give the appearance of having "stock" CT- the toy section was barren. The food areas were also spread out to give.the appearance of stock. I got some pool chemicals on clearance for next year

Fed Reserve's latest Beige Book (seriously...) mentions shortage or short supply 80 times, and predicts the situation is going to get worse going into the Christmas holidays. People are edgy enough, we really don't need the low simmering anger out there now ratcheting up a few more notches.

Everything was in stock when I hit the store this morning, South Texas. Didn't spot any shortages. Ended up getting bulk beans, lentles, flour, yeast, pasta, etc. and extra TP on top of whatever else was on my list. Bacon, sausage was normal. Ground beef was a bit more than usual at $3.50 a lb. There was some cheaper, on sale, but I expect it was a bit older.

Sams club had a one toilet paper case limit and were almost out when I got there. It seemed every cart in the store had a case in it, some including myself had two cases since my father was with me. I also bought 100lbs of rice to add to the 25lbs I already had and 10lbs of salt just so I have it in the house if shit go's tits up. Freezers full as well as the pantry so were good for quite a while.

Let the higher prices and shortage in state ramp up. That will make the consumers rethink their vote and pressure the government to change something. Do you actually not understand? Think very hard about why a business might not want to cut off service to a region with 40 million potential consumers. Think very, very hard about that. It just might come to you.

I haven't seen a Lunchable at our local grocery store for over a month now. I noticed those because I'll grab a couple to throw in my pack when heading out fishing or hunting.

Can't get anyone to work, so shelves run bare. YMMV Ditti this. The shortages are more than just being sold out. They are a three pronged issue.
