re: What happened with that beef shortage?

A shithole in Louisiana didn't run out of meat therefore no one did.

A shithole in Texas ran out of meat b/c facebook karens ran out and bought it all, so everyone did?

Uh yeah.. Fluctuations happen because supply goes up or down. Are you serious? Supply went down so prices went up.

No shite. How long did your beef shortage/higher prices last? It also happens when you think there might be a shortage, regardless if the shortage actually happens or not.

Having a sale on certain products and limiting the amount one customer can buy is so incredibly different than a store limiting an item that went up in price.

I agree. Maybe grocery store owners in your shithole area are as stupid as the people buying up toilet paper, so they prepared for a shortage that never really happened.

I was a manager of a grocery store for 3 years and now am a direct store supplier to a variety of grocery stores. I guarantee I know more than you even if you grocery shop 3x a week.

Good for you. you probably know my dad, or at least have met him before in passing. I don't doubt you know more than i do. I dont doubt some places saw a hike in prices for a short time. What i don't buy is that there was some shortage of beef in this country. WHat likely happened was an overreaction, just like with the toilet paper, and had smarter heads prevailed throughout it, we wouldn't be talkign about this b/c no one would have any reason to.
