Scouring The Internet
Well, it wouldn’t be a Monday in November if I didn’t spend a portion of my afternoon at Sam’s Club purchasing pecans because ONCE AGAIN, OUR FOOD SUPPLIER SHORTED US PECANS. (Shouting intended.)
And look, I’m fully aware that almost every single person at Kohl’s Wholesale hates me by now but it is almost Thanksgiving and I really need a reliable source of pecans. (Kohl’s Wholesale is a food distribution company based in Quincy, Illinois. It isn’t to be confused with Kohl’s Department Store based in most strip malls in America. I have no idea why Kohl’s Wholesale didn’t pick a different name, but it literally confuses everyone who doesn’t work with them on a regular basis, including our accountant who once was concerned about what shop purchases I was making for $1200 at Kohl’s Department Store on the PJP debit card.)
Anyway, I was expecting about $800 worth of pecans and I received about $0 in pecans. No one seems to know the supply chain crisis answer to this problem. But I do feel like in a post-COVID supply chain crisis world, we are all just more apt to be like “welp we just don’t know where the pecans are or when they will be here” and then we just accept it and wait to see what happens next week. What a time to be alive.
So when I wasn’t chopping pecans, I was scouring the Internet for hundreds of pounds of chopped pecans at a number that wasn’t heart stopping. (In case you ever thought entrepreneurship was magical, read that previous sentence again.)
Here’s a few other things for discussion:
Thanksgiving orders close THIS SATURDAY. If you haven’t yet, be sure to order online or by phone.
Over a thousand of your closest friends have already secured their spot.
Your hours for that week for pickup are Monday - Wednesday, 10 am to 6 pm; closed Thursday; and open 10 am to 3 pm on Friday and Saturday.
Our hours for that week are literally all day and all night.
No less than 10 people have asked for Thanksgiving morning pickup. Short of hospitals and other emergency services, all of America should make a pact to close for Thanksgiving so that we can just all have a day that doesn’t feel like we should be doing something else. (Except pecan supply truck drivers. Obviously.)
