Supply chain fuckery
IRVINE (CBSLA) — Taco Bell fans may have to think outside the bun — and the burrito.
Customers on social media say the Irvine-based fast-food chain has been out of some staples and favorites.
“I heard something about that,” said customer Luis Castelan. “I don’t know if maybe it’s all of the restaurants…but I definitely heard a couple of restaurants here and there have had a shortage of food and everything.”
In a statement, Taco Bell said, “Due to national transportation delays happening throughout most of the industry, we may temporarily be out of some items. Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope to feed fans’ current Taco Bell cravings again soon.”
The company didn’t provide specifics, but on social media, customers across the country tweeted about their experiences.
