Stop in for a cup of coffee

So just got some bad news from work. We’re in near panic mode. We have just enough inventory to last thru early Jan. We’d placed an order and moved away from just in time inventory last spring, before the major shortages hit. The steel and raw nylon we have had on order I guess since April, keeps getting pushed back. Last word was March of 22, now they’re saying maybe by June 22.
Our buyers apparently decided to hedge against shortages. Warehouse is stuffed, pallets in aisles etc. Even rented some trailers and offsite warehouse space. Sucks getting through aisles and for them to pull what they need, but they haven’t run short on most types of stock.
