Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.
While it's not going away, the food industry is slowing down.
At my facility we would move an average of 250,000 cases per day pre-Covid. With the panic buying early in March, we saw that number rise to 400,000 cases. Now we're around 200,000 and probably going to fall into the 190/180k range before long. This is why I went from a 54 hour work week to sub-40 hours now.
Think about it. Many people are watching what they buy because they are likely working with a budget where they weren't before. And those that were on a budget before need to tighten up even more now.
While it won't close completely, the food supply chain is not immune to the downturn either. And of course BIG INDUSTRY CONGLOMERATE isn't going to leave profit on the table.
