Not unusual. Usually its fajita veggies, in my experience. Its just **** poor management.I noticed two different Qudoba restaurants were out of brown rice this week. I'm not sure if this is related to the 'crisis'.

Ive lost track of how many times I've been told "Sorry, we are out of veggies".
Sometimes. Both times for me it was during dinner hour. And the last time I said "Its OK, I have an errand to run across the street. How long will it take? 20 mins?" "Sorry, we are literally out. Wont have any until Friday." (It was Monday )I honestly think this is usually just shorthand for "we don't want to prep anything else for the rest of the day, everything's clean and we're leaving on time."
On a recent trip, we stopped at a chain restaurant with 45 minutes to close and the guy didn't even say hello or how can I help you before rattling off all the things they were "out of". We just walked out and Googled up a local place instead.
For those playing at home, rice futures are down in the US. The 52 week high was $19.92. It's currently at $15.65 and trending down.
Not pricing that indicates the people who do this for a living see any impending shortage or price hikes.
We are a net exporter of rice. That is likely why nothing changed. As far as other commodities we won't see prices change much from the cost on the market. It really comes down more to the cost of transporting to a local store. We should see another rise since oil is going back up. Although, I don't think it will be that bad of a jump.3 months in, prices still stable at around $16. Another crisis that didn't.
Seems like all major grain/bean commodities are down. I've no idea why. Wheat, for example, is back to early COVID numbers. Maybe inflation starting to ease on the bottom of the supply chain?
