GA goes on travel restrictions tomorrow-Friday- at noon
I have not been to a store in a few days but I am getting reports from others that several of the stores in the middle GA area have been pretty much stripped
I will try to get to one tomorrow and see
I stopped at the butcher shop that is out in the county--20+ miles to a town or city of more than 1200--it was very busy
I talked to the owner and he told me that it had been non stop since he opened at 7:30
I can confirm Glynn County Ga is basically stripped bare. It really wasn't hard to do.
The situation is as follows based on the wife who works at Walmart. This is a preview into our Walmart only but it is a sign of the stress the supply chain is going through.
1) Fewer trucks are arriving daily.
2) The trucks that arrive are full, but not of food... things like chilli etc. They are only partially filled with food.
3) The bread people are delivering 2 times daily for the small bread items, but the big bread truck has not been seen for weeks.
4) The shelves are still empty. The store is not able to get enough to fill the shelves and keep stock on them by the end of the day. They are still going bare before lunch.
5) Any of the really good stuff like meats, eggs and cheese are gone... seldom in stock and only for an hour or three.
6) She is beginning to see gaps or much lower stock levels on things like household sheets, etc that are often bought from China.
It goes on, but we are seeing a disruption of the supply chain in a company that controls its trucks, suppliers and all other factors of its business like the 4th Reich had risen and they can't get what they need.
Also, we went to the 2nd day bread store, shipments from Florida are non-existent. They haven't gotten one for over a month. Their overall stock levels are like one of those pictures from the Soviet Union grocery stores. When I mentioned how the store looked, the wife said she didn't understand what that was. I told her she just lived through it.
Lastly,
Bi-weekly top off of supplies by the wife was interesting. She went to Sams and first the line was done to the Hobby Lobby which for those who are not familiar with the area, is more than a football field away. Everything was organized, but there was not food. She was there at 8 am to shop. The picture I showed weeks ago of empty racks still applies.
