They have so much of everything else so no big deal

Ha, jokes on you Kroger --- I went to 'plant based diet' a year ago!!!! Choke on your own porkfat!

are we at this point yet?

No one needs to eat dead animals anyway.

kroger also refuses to deliver paper towels and toilet paper. You must walk into their stores and buy them. This was their policy when the coronavirus pandemic was at a fever pitch. Nothing like increasing the likelihood of sickness and death over paper products Rodney McMullen.

All the stores in So. Ca. have plenty of meat, all the time. Maybe less peple eat pork and redmeat here?

My question is, why do all these super chain stores, including Walmart get to stay open but the little shops have to be closed. All these big stores are always filled with lots of people.

Another example of why we need diverse food processing lines. Thankfully, I anticipated this issue a couple months ago. FYI, you can direct purchase a cow, and then have a local butcher processes your meat. Many times a couple families will go half on a cow.

I got some road kill for Sunday dinner y'all

11hullinger Here we go! Where’s Sonny Perdue? Isn’t he the cabinet member responsible for food?

Chasing 🥩 Meat

VENEZUELA!

Already does it in my store.

NBC, you morons keep spamming us with this story. Again, Kroger’s here in Michigan has been doing this since it started. You’re not breaking a story here 🤡’s

My stores have been doing that since day 1. Two packages is the limit but you can get more in a separate transaction lol. Maybe if people would act civilized, then this wouldn’t happen.

Now there will be a run on freezers. A least we're not eating zoo animals yet.

Good - otherwise greedy people will horde

There has never been a better time to become a vegetarian. I actually take pleasure in watching meat addicts not getting meat.

Food shortages in one place after another...

👀

The toilet paper hoarders will not like this!

Well the Republicans got the Socialism they don't want. Interestingly its a Republican President in charge. Bjs limiting meat also

peacelovinMimi I remember when America was the 'land of plenty'.....

To late for that! All the hoarders have their freezers stocked full now. Just like all that tiolet paper and paper towels they are sitting on.

Some groceries in PA began this weeks ago!

Factory farming is sick way for people to raise animals anyway. No way I feel bad about less of this *meat*.

A sad truth we are living. 😔

Trump’s protesters can get jobs at Amazon,UPSP,hospitals,mortuaries, graveyards , nursing homes. ,store stockers ,store cleaners, transportation cleaners etc. ...stop all the gun toting thuggery if you love America.

They've been doing that for a month here.

I've been homeless for almost 5 years people have been watching me on the street for a year and a half.
