Chain cites "transportation delays happening throughout most of the industry" as reason why its eateries are out of some items.

        If I pull up at a fast food place and the line is longer than 4 or 5 cars, I either go inside if it doesn't look crowded or I just drive right through the parking lot and keep going. There's like 15 fast food places per square mile in New Jersey, and if anything I can stop at a 7 eleven or Wawa and not have to wait for my food to be made.

        There's a McDonald's about a mile from my home and sometimes I swear the drive through line is 20+ cars deep and backed up on to the street...imagine waiting in line 45 minutes for fucking McDonald's.

        Taco Bells are rarely isolated though, and often share a building with a KFC or Pizza Hut. I can see this argument if it's a restaurant which might be isolated with other restaurants, but usually you need to at most walk next door to check if there's something else available.

      what's also cool is that the app probably doesn't stop you from ordering anything they might be missing at all (fool me once...)

      Just some stoner in the corner crying eating a taco shell full of hot sauce packets. "I wish there was another way!"

    Man, this shit is simultaneously collapsing too slowly, yet so quickly.

    This is only a shadow of the suffering Amerika inflicted on my country. I hope it gets worse.

    So, there have been a lot of these weird shortages lately. I feel like you dont really get a good glimpse from the news of what is going on. The official story seems to be that everything is fine, but here and there logistics are just messed up, but it seems to me that there is more than that. I wonder what yall feel, think or see down on the ground? And also when does it stop being "logistics disrupted by the pandemic" and start being "we are fucked" ?

    And with crazy weather it seems like there will be crop problems this year...
