There's tons of empty shelf space at Walmart around here. It's like they aren't even trying anymore. Go down the soup aisle and look. College kids are gonna starve without their ramen noodles lol.

There's some shortages yes but not like that. Yesterday I had a hard time finding chicken food, carrots, and cigarettes.

Most stores around here are spreading out what they have in stock so it looks likes more than there really is, many things are set 4 or 5 wide but only 1 deep, to cover the missing merchandise spaces, as opposed to 4 or 5 deep.

Doesn't help you Alaskan guys when everything comes in on boats through Anchorage, eh? Our shelves are pretty well stocked but it's sticker shock looking at the prices.

I just talked to a fellow trapper that lives on a river I trapped beaver on and he said that they got a foot more snow than Fairbanks received and it’s hurting the moose . They can’t get around because of the double layers of ice and deep snow. There goes out meat source for next fall!

Sadly it looks like shelves in Urbanna, Ohio too. We have to drive out of county now, if we want to buy over half of what's on our list. I think Walmart and Kroger stock their big city stores, near their warehouses first and then ship any leftovers out our way. The big chains aren't going to ship their merchandise any further than they need to, to sell it. It makes no economic sense to ship merchandise out to us if they can sell it closer to their warehouses. It's getting progressively worse and very expensive.

Yes, not to that degree but yes. And it's weird random items not just stuff that I know comes in on ships. I'm still having difficulty finding regionally produced goods such as smoked ham hocks or neckbones. Conecuh sausage from next door Alabama is hit or miss in stock. Sugar which is all American made seems to have taken a big hit as well. (holidays?)

If we aren’t hurt by a plague we’re going to be shut down with shortages! You think?

Was in the store yesterday. Out of those Pillsbury Cresent rolls, pie crusts, orange juice. A lot of the packaged sliced cheese is gone. Shortages of Butter, Toilet Paper, juices, baking supplies, canned soups

The cashiers at the stores around here used to always ask "Did you find everything you were looking for?" I believe it was a job requirement. None of the cashiers have asked me that in well over 18 months now. It would take to long to listen to every customer list 20 to 30 items they could not find and no matter how they looked, the cashiers and baggers could not find the items to sell.

You're probly right. Here in Florida there's no problems finding everything we need. Even Fritos. laugh The only bare shelves I've seen is Glidden paint in Home Depot.
Wait until everyone gets an electric car, then China shuts us off from their lithium.

I'm seeing sporadic shortages of this and that. Sometimes you can't find X,Y & Z . Then the next week they will have that but be out of A,B&C. Seen it at Wal-Mart , Aldi's and other stores.

Definitely looks like a supply chain problem , but it is getting slightly worse.

Several news articles are talking about it and a new hashtag -
