74-I hear ya’, but it still doesn’t set right with me. And Daisy-reminds me of our local chain grocer, they’re always low/out of milk and milk products. Supposedly we’re in a milk glut as well, nation wide anyway. Just seems off.
In another life I worked in supply chain and while I agree that the J.I.T. premise is a probably a factor, it still doesn’t fit nicely in my experience.
I will say if the current J.I.T. situation is the case and the norm now, there will not be 3 days of food on the shelves in an emergency. The way I see it, they’ll be doing good to last the better part of a single day.
