HEB - shopping and empty shelves

[str8shooter]

Partially true. We manufacture quite a bit of our own brand products. The rest is sourced out.

You're right. I should have stated that many of the private label brands come from other sources, not all of them.

I usually go to the Kroger by me because the "better" service at HEB isn't worth fighting the crowds. Lately Kroger has had everything besides tp, paper towels, and disinfectants. This is just outside 610 in the close in suburbs. Lots of stores open. Not many people out. They seem to be catching up except for the TP hoarders. Farther out where 1 store serves the whole hood, or in small towns, it's been harder to find stuff.

Sika, sorry you and everyone else is dealing with this. Have you tried our 'Curbside' app? It may be a few days before you could get on the schedule, but typically you have a better shot at getting the key essentials going this route (not guaranteed though). This is assuming the store you shop at, has a Curbside dept.

All pickup times are full.
It's not a big city - we have one HEB.

What's the difference between Hill Country and HEB brands? Besides HC sucks LOL

And if some products labeled HEB are outsourced can the provider sell that same product to everyone with different labels? Just curious.

So has anyone nailed down what happened at the beginning of covid era that is still causing shortages of products?

We are bound to have members here who sell certain products. What exactly changed to make companies not be able to keep up with demand? In the past with every shortage or rise in demand companies increased supply (capitalism). Now we just stay short of everything?

I’m not sure. If the labor shortage thing is real then where did the people go. I thought I read on here recently that said 4000000 people left the job pool.

At this point every single day is a Clown Show. Not surprised anymore.

I worked for one of the largest food manufacturers in the world up until last year. The shortage is due to labor shortages in plants in certain states as well as poor management going woke. They were more worried about hiring inclusion panels and minorites in exec positions than taking care of the people in the plants making the products that paid the bills. Most processed food in grocery stores are junk anyways. I worked for the company but would not feed it to my family.

LOL... I see what you are doing!

Still lacking labor. The Whitehouse sent those 1200.00 stimulus checks out and it has sustained millions for 2 years now according to FJB. Or we have 40 million new drug dealers now. I just don’t know.

I can only speak to non domestic products. For me it has been almost purely logistical issues getting the products out of China, Vietnam and Indonesia that causing the shortage. And now that its all getting fixed and all those backorders are on the way...no one needs the product anymore. Expect HEAVILY reduced products in all your retailers this Christmas.

Going tomorrow...

Problem with HEB is that 90% of all their products are now "bioengineered" Read labels under the ingredients, they are required to show it on the package now. Virtually everything in their bakery is bioengineered. It is not something you should make a habit of eating. DNA changing garbage.

Y’all have failed to add four million wetbacks into the equation. More mouths, more food, more shat.
