Supply Chain
-
Jonathon Just wanted your input given the present supply chain issues we are facing.
What items, equipment, seasonings and supplies do you see potential problems with inventory at Walton’s between now and the end of the year.
Planning out, not just what I need, but also gifts for Christmas and don’t want to run into shortages or delivery issues.
Thanks

With the looming plastic shortages, will vac bags be the new toilet paper?

Ridley Acres Thinking your choice is a decent pick. Plastic is on the hit list right now.

Ridley Acres I am seeing plastic shortages at my store already on some sports/sparkling water drinks.

The plastic shortage is coming from LNG conversion. They have had some plants go down especially in LA. They produce cheap methanol necessary to produce some plastics, plus China is using more plastics now days sucking up the commodity availability on the open market

I am afraid that this is going to drive up prices even more.

are the powers that be just holding the ships to control market and price ?

craigrice I think it is a very calculated plan on China’s part to further destroy the United States. We have got to take control over our supply chain and not be dependent on those who openly state that they are out to destroy America.
Look at the overall picture. Open to Iran’s nuclear buildup, changing fact with total fiction and accepting it as true, taking control over the free speech of American… the list goes on and on. This is not an accident. It is calculate.
It is time to step up and defend what is right and defend our country. I don’t care if someone is offended, we need to do what is in the best interest of our society.
Okay, I’m going to step off my soap box…

Ok. I can on the board today for the pretty pictures and the fun stories I could live vicariously through, but could not miss a post by Chef. Reading this thread made me a little angry, a little sad, and a lot scared as to what is to come.

Dr_Pain Thanks, Dr_Pain . I watch your post as well, Us Cajuns must stick together. LOL
On a serious note, we can all do something to help in this disaster.
First, VOTE. Forget party and look at value systems and voting records.
Second. Money Speaks. Buy products from companies that support issues that you are aligned with your values. Many large companies give lots of money, profits from our buying habits, to groups that we would oppose. Research the products and companies you support. I have a whole list of companies if anyone would like a list privately.
Third, DO not be afraid to voice your opinions. The fastest way for the enemy to win if for good people to do nothing. This being offended c r a p has gotten to be too much. Stand up for what is right.
Okay, off the soapbox again.

Chef All you needed to do was state No. 1, that is the problem, it’s about the party and not the individual.

Chef Sorry for the late response but for a quick update, Walton’s did a good job (at least as good as we could) at stocking this year. Unless something really weird happens we will not run out of any Walton’s branded stuff. Casings haven’t been much a problem though there could be some issues with Natural Casings as they are shipped both overseas and back. I’d say it is going to be little things we wont be able to predict. Right now Jalapeno Pepper Flakes 5 lb are in such short supplies we have taken the 5 lob bag off-line and can only be purchased by certain commercial customers. I’d also guess we could see another run on both sanitizers and gloves…that all that comes to mind as things I would be concerned about. If anyone is absolutely married to a seasoning for the Holidays I’d buy it now. I am not saying I see a shortage of any of them coming but as seasonings have a lot of different ingredients a shortage in any of them may make your favorite difficult to get.

Jonathon Thanks for the update, sounds like you are planning ahead. Around here people are starting to hoard toilet paper, Kleenex and paper towels.
