I stopped at home depot for heat shrink tubing. the tiny 3/32 I was after... I got the one last pack (would have bought several packs). Every other size from that up to 3/4, gone. Lots of empty hooks and shelves in every store.
I emailed Gortons Seafoods and asked why I no longer find their signature seasonings tilapia at any local store. Their reply was logistics issues. They have it in the warehouse and the stores closer to their warehouse do have it. I'm in SC, my closest source is TN.
Same with Chef-Boy-Arde overstuffed itailian sausage ravioli. The stores do have other Gortons Seafood products and other Chef-Boy-Arde products so what I've deduced from this... Fewer shipments means a lot more selective discrimination. I remember unloading grocery trucks. Toilet paper takes up a lot of space. What they don't sell a lot of, they dont order. Where a product is produced is not the only issue.
