Off-Topic Grocery shelf’s empty

[GOCANES05]

Isn’t it all full weird seeing empty shelves in every store you visit.

Just had to mention it scares me to see this , does this strike anyone as something you wouldn’t see in this country, 21/2 years ago thriving now Venezuela sad stuff.

Right now it's probably more hurricane related.

In my AO there haven't been normal/full shelves for probably a year at least. The shelves that are full are just rows of the same item overstocked.

Certainly has made it worse. Though even before there had been shortages of random items the past two years. Been seeing farmers warn of food shortages coming this winter for months now.

I went to Trader Joe's (in Tallahassee) yesterday and 40% of the store was empty.

I'd say when I go the grocery store it's about 50/50 that they'll have milk, eggs, bread or peanut butter. It's pretty wild.

Publix has been fantastic in regards to keeping their shelves full, in comparison to others.

Its a combo of product shortage and people buying groceries for many months ahead.

Its gonna get more fun in winter. I wonder if I actually have to work the full month or if at some point electricity will run out.

Shelves always pretty fully stocked here in Maryland at my Safeway and Harris-Teeter. Don't know about Walmart.

There are empty spots here in WalMart not because of supply shortages but because they can’t hire enough people to stock the shelves. There’s a regional grocer with about 100 stores that have required their supervisors and managers to stock shelves for the same issue - can’t hire enough people.

My Publix is pretty much as full as always. Haven’t looked at Winn Dixie across the street, but I would imagine they may be the same.

Went to KFC last week and they didn't have any chicken.

This may be what it is, Winn Dixie had plenty of everything. Publix I won't comment because ***** that place. I worked there for 2 years and that company is beyond corrupt. I personally over saw fraud in that place for a year. If you guys think the front they put on is legit, you might as well believe al golden isnt a use car salesman

I'm kind of curious of your experiences. Is this a Florida thing? I'm in MD and I go to Giant, Trader Joes, Whole Foods and have found virtually no issues the past several months. Plenty of everything and if something is low in stock, it will be in stock within days.
