Experts say itโs not necessary to stock up on supplies due to dockworkers strike.
SUMMARY: Shoppers at Sam’s Club are facing shortages of toilet paper and paper towels, with some expressing concern over the availability of fresh fruit amid ongoing strikes. Customers are stocking up due to uncertainty about produce supplies. Professor Gary Hoover notes that if the strike ends soon, the impacts will be minimal, but prolonged disruptions could lead to rising prices and panic buying. He emphasizes that availability will dictate prices, which are already increasing. Ultimately, any shortages or price hikes will only last as long as the strike continues.
