Another disappointing trip to Walmart. As usual, out of a lot of things. Couldn't get  a dozen eggs, they only had packs of 2 dozen, I wanted a pack of loose hot sausage to make patties, nope, didn't have it. Cat food I wanted, nope. Frozen breakfast food pretty  much wiped out. I do shop at Wegman's, too, but there are a couple thngs that Walmart carries that I can't get there, especially in the pet food area.

It isn't only Walmart in my area.  Troubling shortage of beef and chicken in all stores.

I have not had any issues finding things I need but I don't do Wal-Mart for my groceries.

The Walmart stores in my area are having staff shortages, not a shortage of products.  For instance, their milk cases are always almost empty, but all of the milk is sitting toward the back just waiting to be put in the display cases where the customer can reach in to get it.  It is very frustrating to see the milk I want, but cannot get it.

I have been doing the online for pickup at Walmart.  And I do both, pickup and go to the store to shop.   Online,  I can put thing in my cart and the cart never disappears.  That way I can see if my items are in stock or not.  I too am frustrated with items not being in stock and there is always something that is not in stock.  I have enjoyed the pickup feature which I initially thought was not needed but now I like it...let them get the stuff off the top shelf, lift heavy stuff and find thing that are in the store but I can find when I look for them.

I do the curbside pickup at WM. Usually everything I order is in stock except for canned Libby's Pure Pumpkin. This seems to happen every year about this time....canned pumpkin goes mia.

I don't like the lack of check outs.  It's either self checkout or stand in line of 50 people at the "speedy" checkout which is now for under 20 items.

I don't do Walmart for groceries - the shelves have always been poorly stocked, especially compared to a supermarket.  I've learned not to go there expecting to find a specifc item because there's less than a 50% chance I'll find it.

 

I don't know why they can't do a better job stocking.  If they want to be a supemarket, then act like one.

My husband and I both noticed shortages not on in the grocery store, but in CVS as well.
