If an economy was recovering from pandemic restrictions and actually growing, these kinds of supply chain management issues would not be happening. Are attempts to involve the police a result of the encouragement of neighborhood snitching during the pandemic?
According to The Independent, the shortage of menu items caused a large enough uproar that London’s Metropolitan Police was forced to publish a tweet about the “KFC Crisis.”
Please do not contact us about the #KFCCrisis – it is not a police matter if your favourite eatery is not serving the menu that you desire.
OMG, no fingers, Is that better than no balls.
Now, why did you think it was necessary to bring up Canada’s Conservative politicians?
I was referring to almost all Canadians, females of the species may be excluded from cowardice as they can be protected by their men-folks.. Line up for your shot now.
Heh. Not this old cowboy. Or his wife.
Just loved the comment about go to your local farmer’s market. Anyone who says that has never been to a Manitoba farmer’s market. They don’t sell food. They sell overpriced hand made junk items and overpriced trinkets or pyramid scheme stuff. If we’re very very lucky there might be one table with actual vegetables and chances are they were picked up from the same warehouse in Winnipeg that supplies Safeway.
This is going to get worse. Time to stock up is now.
And the mention of going to the grocery store. I can get plenty of high-sodium, bad-for-my-heart stuff there too, including fried chicken from the deli.
Well, I know where you can get tomatoes just like that for three times the price.
The gentrification of farmer’s markets has been going for some time.
A once, great Empire. The sun has finally set.
Having been the owner of two eateries over the years, I can tell you that staffing problems due to COVID tyranny would just be the start.
It is vital to have a rock-solid supply chain for any food establishment to survive. A food product that takes 11 ingredients(from 3 different suppliers) to make can’t be made with only 9. And, while you wait for those other two products to hopefully show up, much of the food you already have inventoried is perishing. It is a very low margin business, and there is little room for any error that costs sales or spoiled food.
Defund the police…. unless you are denied some extra-crispy… then demand they intervene. Leftists are such a-holes.
Spent the first 20 years of my working life in the restaurant biz so I admire the fact that you owned 2 eateries. Left the biz more than 2 decades ago and still dream about it.
Why not put the police in charge of settling petty gripes? They refuse to deal with grooming gangs but eagerly go after people who hurt feelings by running afoul of speech laws. Being out of chicken fingers also causes hurt feelings, so get the police in and charge people.
Just imagine looking forward to a nice paper bag full of chicken fingers and being told they’re out. It’s 2021 so someone has to pay for bringing you down.
Binge watched “Clarkson’s Farm” the other night…the Lamborghini tractor featured on this site piqued my interest. But how British farmers manage to grow food and actually get it to the market in that country despite their suffocating land use and building regulations and countless other absurdities is a freaking mystery to me.
I mean, tractor tire ruts on wet soil is defined as “Disturbance of the Soil” and as such you can be subjected to a fine.
Good Grief.
If you can get along fine without fast-food, deep fried chicken fingers … then you might be “too white” … and “too privileged”.
Now someone please call the mental health counselors … before the shooting starts.
Well, I can’t speak to the junk food supply, but the local Chinadian Tire and the Home Hardware are out of 1/2″ lock washers and 4″ shear pins.
Jebuz! How ya gonna keep your hubs on??
