Are we going to go this overboard every time some fast food shop runs out of a random product.
Had about large family shop 6 deliveries in the past month due to school holidays, maybe 1 or two items substituted in each if at all, but nothing out of the ordinary apart from one time I got dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate choc ices.![]()
Good. Nando's is some of the most overrated crap going![]()
I don't just mean some random Brexit obsessed person starting a thread on Overclockers, I mean Twitter, I mean the media. Even CNN were reporting on it - bloody milkshakes out of stock at a fast food place!
KFC shut down a year or two ago when they had logistic issues, these things happen.
They can be indicative of underlying problems, though. They show the fragility of modern society, its dependence on constant global just in time everything. They're not important in themselves, but they're a symptom. When localised, they can also affect the image of a country and that matters (more than it should) in international trade and politics.
It is "just one of those things", having plentiful & cheap supplies of everything you could possibly need, available right on your doorstep or a couple of clicks away is a relatively modern luxury
Not unreasonable, thank you.
Very good. Shame they don't do a veggie option!
lol buy a bbq .. grill your chicken save £££££££ just a few erbs and spices![]()
Maybe not unprecedented, but it's hardly unexpected, given the circumstances;
We've just left the largest trading bloc in the world, coupled with a worldwide pandemic which has impacted trade, travel and production across every industry. Either of those events would have had an impact, but with both together, it would be more surprising if there weren't consequences!
Maybe try it before slagging it off? It's pretty clear from this post you've never had (or even seen?) Nando's food, so TBH you're just making yourself look like an idiot at this point
While I agree that both are overpriced (let's be honest, what restaurant isn't), Nando's is far superior to KFC!
Absolutely this, healthier, tastier, better quality, and cheaper![]()
Annoys me when the media and companies blame Brexit for shortages of lorry drivers and low stock on the shelves. Have relatives in France and a friend’s parents living in Portugal, both experiencing similar things.
You can’t blame Brexit for this
Some of the drivers we've had in have said the supermarkets are having trouble with moving chilled goods and other perishables in a timely fashion, one was claiming (no idea if true) he was paid £1000 just to pull an extra shift to run several lorry loads of them which otherwise would have to be disposed of due to a lack of drivers and backlog building up in storing them.
yes i eat outish most nights .. as most nights i bbq .. but plz tell me when i laughed at those out of work ? and seeing as there is a great lack of people in the trade .. i'm sure they won't be out of work long .. even i changed jobs 2 months ago (chef) for a hell of a lot more money ..as feeding the suits atm is very profitable ...
Global supply chain is challenged right now for many reasons, it’s not just Britain.
The rabid socialist idiots on Twitter who want to blame everything on Brexit.
They have no Carling and Coors, only about another 10 beers at least on tap to choose from, that thankfully aren't Carling or Coors. Is this really going to happen when a particular product isn't available somewhere that we'll hear about it here every time?
I hate to tell you this, but pubs running out of a certain lager isn't unprecedented. A friend of mine has worked for Heineken for a couple of decades (via Courage, Scottish and Newcastle and then Heineken), and it happens more often than you think. People/the media weren't so obsessed by a couple of crap lagers being out of stock previously though.
For a short time this evening. Judging by your recent post count I don't have quite the time on my hands that you seem to at the moment.![]()
What's next? Probably a ginger beer if they have no Heineken 0.0
