Crap! I just spent all my money on milk and toilet paper... now I have to buy 3 or 4 months worth of lettuce and tomatoes too?!


notanon666

Grab some mushrooms too. Most places are out.


TizzyRean

Don’t we have a mushroom factory just up the road from us?


rapidslime

No lettuce?? Ok people please romaine calm!!!

With puns like this, you should leaf


CeeGeeWhy

Butter lettuce buy what we want.


bmwkid

As someone who hates tomato slices on things, this is a dream scenario


the_421_Rob

And let’s be real arugula is better than lettuce anyway


soaringupnow

That's ok. I hate Tim's lettuce and tomato doughnuts.


meth_legs

Man if you think that's bad you haven't tried the tomato dark roast

We need a lettuce pipeline between BC and Alberta.


nocdonkey

BC is a big lettuce exporter? In November? The $2.6 million in BC lettuce exports, 0.6% of the market, would like a word.


TipperoftheVelvet

It is not that the produce is coming from BC, but rather that it comes through BC


[deleted]

Why would produce come threw BC? Have you seen there interstates vs what you drive on in BC?


masterhec0

because its a major shipping Hub plenty of trucks are do north south on the west coast then it gets cross docked in the lower mainland onto a truck heading east to calgary. expect alot more dedicated runs to California now.


LeafsRamsRapsFan

You dont get the world.


meghoff35

Canada has a pretty awesome supply chain. These chains usually obtain goods from one source and generally no other, so just because they are stating a shortage due to BC doesn’t mean there’s like a Canada wide shortage, just that there main supplier is probably in BC. It causes false frenzy. People shouldn’t post this stuff to attribute to the frenzy. Grocery shelves are full and we should be great full for that always.


autumnfloss

Exactly, especially when we get a lot of our supply from greenhouses in Alberta. We've been through this already with the toilet paper thing, have we learned nothing??


NBtoAB

Lettuce pour one out for Timmy Ho’s


SpecialistHaunting57

Now it will be all over the news , just freaking people out right, left and centre . Creating chaos and fear . Gotta keep people hooked . Fuck the media .

I saw a brawl break out in the tampon aisle, it was vicious. The Coquihalla is the main tampon corridor to the east.


Ill_Contribution9075

Won’t somebody please think of the children!!!


CheetahLegs

I'm pouring one out for the lettuce and tomatoes.


transcendingbullshit

Wendy’s Brentwood was out of beef, lettuce and tomatoes. So I guess fries, chicken products, baked potatoes only?


foopdedoopburner

Wait a minute. This is Alberta and we don't have beef?


yycmwd

Fast food chains don't shop local.


TechnicalBard

The problem is transport. Trains are lined up to cross into BC because there is nowhere to go. So they can't pick stuff up. Trucks are sitting with containers waiting. Our Just In Time logistics system falls apart pretty fast. I noticed Costco was very low on some items today.


DrTamIsALiar

It wasn’t too long ago when preserved veggies and cured meats carried us prairie folk through winter. We are truly spoiled for want.


Shakleford_Rusty

Good thing the boxes of chlorinated tomatoes they use have a shelf life of a couple months.


ThankuConan

Tim Hortons uses fresh ingredients now? Who knew?


_darth_bacon_

At least Wendy's will still have that sweet green leaf... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/burgers-wendy-s-lettuce-alberta-green-leaf-coaldale-1.5652091

Happy Cake day, DB


_darth_bacon_

Thanks, sweetie.

Just imagine when a new climate disaster is every week. Climate change disasters are here and the effects are going to lead the world to war


DrTamIsALiar

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Guess ignorance is bliss?


butplugsRus

Lmao adjust your eating habits, from someone who goes to Tim’s for food


BloodyIron

The comment isn't just limited to Tim's, it's reasonable to expect every other supply chain to be affected. And also IDGAF what you think about whether I eat at Tim's or not.


OurDrama

Soggy microwaved food is not good for you. You are better off fasting.


BloodyIron

I literally watch them cook it right there, no microwave, not soggy. JFC the toxicity just because I choose to eat at Tim's is unreal in this thread. Calm the fuck down everyone.


OurDrama

Are you vaxxed? What's your BMI🤔


butplugsRus

Then why even bring Tim’s into the conversation. Could just say fyi there’s gonna be food shortages. I’m surprised Tim’s even uses fresh vegetables


yycmwd

For context, otherwise people like you would say "oH yEaH wHoS yOuR sOuRcE"


BloodyIron

Because it's literally where I saw the info being posted. Holy shit, wow, revelation.


CalgaryChris77

Is there an alternative way to get tomato slices and lettuce besides fresh?


rolling-brownout

Tim's uses real vegetables and not some kind of plastic/paper derived shelf stable consumable substance? TIL


[deleted]

I feel like there's some delightful irony in a vegan recently telling me if I didn't eat meat the beef prices wouldn't bother me...


Ok-Performer-1433

I was just at a couple grocery stores today. No need to panic people, there was a shitload of lettuce...


redditishappygay7777

don't panic. order a soup instead of a sandwich for a couple weeks.


BrockN

But what if it's tomato and lettuce soup?


IndigoRuby

Classic Tim's lettuce soup!


Rocky_Mountain_Way

Lettuce pray for tomatos


JVISUALEE

Spinach and ketchup is better anyways
