Showing Original Post only (View all)Are you struggling to find the things you need? Empty shelves? [View all]
Andrea Mitchell is apparently decrying once again that store shelves are empty. So I'm wondering, are you struggling to get the things you need? I have run into things I would only call an inconvenience. Monday they had no shredded cheese at my store or the frozen meatballs I like. I ran in the store today and they had cheese but no meatballs.
They didn't have the frozen peas I like for about a month. No big deal. I bought green beans instead. Now they are back.
This is an inconvenience but its not like there aren't plenty of other things to eat........... so why is Mitchell portraying this as some sort of crisis????????? (We know why she is...)

So far, no real problems. But stores are beginning to limit purchases of some items.

Not only, not having trouble, finding things on sale, in stock. And hidden sales.

No issues at my Publix except for the mango key lime pie. But that's not a new problem.
