From a trucker to the public...A question.

[Snowwalker]

Ok. Been out to restock and buy a pizza.

Got pizza, groceries will have to wait till I am state side.

Now my question:
How much food are you people eating?

The truckers are hauling like violated apes, even running with nearly empty tanks just to squeeze a few extra skids in the load.
Now with all the food we are moving into Toronto warehouses ( at least our customers) they are stuffed to the ceiling, but stores and restaurants are running out of stuff.

What the heck is going on? The warehouse are full of food, paper products etc.

Take out places that can't sell drinks because they have not had lids or cups for a week? Making only a couple of types sandwiches, because they are out of meats or ingredients.

What gives?

Due to my work cafeteria meals being shutdown and no options for takeout within a reasonable amount of time or distance, I have to buy 3 times the amount of groceries to make meals. Not to mention people being home and not wanting to leave and endure the stress of public interaction means far more people consuming groceries at home rather than restaurants buying bulk to serve these meals.

Not to mention, if I was home all day with not much to do I'd look like a stuffed sausage.

Everyone is definitely eating more at home lol.

Yes I think people are going to be plus sized, but the thing I am getting at is there seems to not be enough local delivery trucks( day cabs down to vans.)

Is that where the bottle neck is in the supply chain?

I've noticed that every interaction with suppliers at work takes 3 times as long. Maybe the extra protocol is having that much influence on supply chain?

I also know many businesses have cut employees for various reasons as well as employees refusing to work. Could also delay a lot of things.

Looks to me more like a supply chain problem.
Personal increased appetites wouldn't make such a difference especially if warehouses are full.

It's a ploy to drive the prices up. Med ground beef up my way is just under $ 9.00 a lb. Never seen prices so high on just about everything in the stores now a days...

I've been buying cheap roasts and grinding my own lately, seems easier to find large roasts for a decent price. Only takes me 10 minutes or so to grind up a few pounds for the freezer.
