Balducci McLean pickup Wednesday was easy.

Oh no, those poor employees. They are going to get so much unpleasantness.

If you buy a precooked turkey from any grocery store it’s probably been frozen. I’m not sure they could safely or Officially Safely thaw them just in time to sell them and then send them home for Thursday.

Wegmans was fine. I got precooked thanksgiving meal for 6 and all was perfect. If it's a supply issue then it's very unique to Balducci's and probably due to idiocy

Its probably a staffing issue. Those jobs don't pay well. Other jobs are paying much higher.

If it wasn’t a last minute shortage, they shouldn’t have taken so many orders.

The one on Old Georgetown?

Ugh, I wonder if the operation is getting a bit frazzled and overwhelmed. Tough year - tons of staffing and supply chain issues. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1017328.page

That's insane. What's the point of pickup if you're waiting for FOUR HOURS?! Wtf...

We picked up our raw turkey yesterday morning. Thankfully that was uneventful.

This happened to me pre-COVID somewhere else. What a pain.

What's the issue?

What’s going on? Supply chain issues? Short staffed? For prepaid this really isn’t right
