My eldest daughter went to Walmart today and while there had noticed many of the shelves were empty. She had worked many years for Walmart (She is a Lowes employee now) and knew a lot of the employees. She asked about the empty shelves and was told that the stock was in the back and would not be put out. Okay, my daughter thought this was kind of strange so I am asking if anyone else had noticed something up with Walmart?

General location? Denver here and everything is pretty good except places like home depot and lowes. Lumber is through the roof and a bunch of empty spots on shelves
Some of this is the result of the difficulty stores have finding employees to stock the shelves... this problem also extends to deliveries, etc. When people get paid more to sit on their asses than to work, this is what you get.
The objective of the management of stores themselves is to make as much money as they can selling as much merchandise as they can (unless you live in a communist part of the country).
So... I call bullshit.
I thought about what you had said and I think paying people to sit home is part of the bad guys plan. Everything that Biden has done and does is to cause harm and hurt our country.
The lumber shortage is a falsehood too. However I am not sure if it’s black hat or white hat. Is it another faked shortage for the sake of chaos or to slow construction to minimize damages of an impending crash?
Oh its a fake shortage to justify shitty quality twisted boards at an insane price. Prices are up over 3x. The crazy thing is i don't think it's slowed the housing industry but im in CO. The rest of the store.has limited supplies/selection. I think its just a way to make huge profits.
I live pretty close to a lumber distribution yard. I have NEVER seen that much lumber there ever. It is stacked 5-6 pallets high in every section of the yard. There is a train offloading station u can see from the road. You cant even see the railcars now for the 20-30 ft high stacks of lumber. 100% true. People here are PISSED.
We live in the western part of NC.
