I sure as hell hope that they have ceased shipping any of that beef overseas except to our far flung military bases. America First !!
 
was just up at the local supermarket as I needed something for dinner.................

There is now apparently a shortage of plastic bags. They were rationing what they had & substituting paper bags. I normally prefer & ask for paper - but I mean - really??
 
So you weren’t affected by the shortage of the plastic bags....Why really??
Did they have everything else you needed I hope.??

R - I was a Purchasing Director for 20 + years - I am well aware of that term. It also means/requires that the manufacturer keep X amount in their inventory (above & beyond what is normally ordered) at all times so they can be brought in quickly if needed. It's known as a Reserve Stock.

At least one market here has signs requesting you leave your reusable bags at home. I guess they don't want you bringing your filthy germs to the store.

Also considering the bans going into effect isn't it possible that manufacturers have cut back production? Or, more likely, gone out of business. You know, because as long as we're saving the world who cares who loses their job.

Yeah Its amazing people would complain theres a shortage of anything right now
 
They are in short supply because stores and wholesale suppliers allowed their inventories to drop to nothing in preparation for the ban

stores don’t have em and the suppliers don’t either

Just sayin'. The unintended consequences of saving the planet from plastic bags. Clean bags? Pfffft. Who goes out of business, and who gets laid off? Pfffft. Mere collateral damage in the fight to save the world, right?

Kind of like the Maine lobster thing Roccus posted about. I mean, there's no nobler cause than saving the whales, is there? It has to be true, I've seen it on bumper stickers.
