Well here in Hickory, NC area I spoke to the Appliance Mgr two days ago. He was upset because he is retired and tells me of strange problems they are having with supply chain issues he never experienced before.
1. He stated a large order for Whirlpool dishwashers (1900 units) that Lowes had placed to supply stores here, they were just informed from Whirlpool, the entire order was cancelled with no explanation?
2. Last week, the Bosch Rep came into store, and told them, what you have in stock at your stores is what you have, that Bosch is NOT taking any new dishwasher orders until February 2022!
He was saying how people ae really getting mad and angry and he can't do anything about it. He agreed with me, in what we have been experiencing across construction industry, there is no expansion or growth going on out there in the US economy as Biden Admin is trying hard to say. The opposite in fact going on, and here in NC, we are already having places re-instating damn covid mask requirements again to even go into their stores...
