Lighthearted humor from Geo. Ure this morning ............ Creeping Tomato Shortage? Not confirmed, but then not surprising, either - word of a creeping tomato shortage from a reader: Hi George, Hope your holiday planning is going well. I thought I would pass this tidbit along to you that I came across this week. I stopped to grab a burger at Wendy's and noticed a sign on their counter that basically read, if you want a tomato on your sandwich you will have to specifically request it and we will only provide them while our supplies last. This was due to the impact of the recent hurricanes in FL and the gulf states on the tomato crop/supplies. I actually witnessed a lady while I was eating in the dining portion that had gone through the drive through park her car, get out, and come inside and demand her tomato for her sandwich saying she wasn't aware of this new policy. I almost laughed out loud but thought what it will be like when it isn't just about tomatoes, ATMs without cash come to mind. Thanks for the great site. Well, we knew the shortage of blue tarps was part of the hurricane damage - and we think the Florida orange growers are looking to squeeze some profits out of their shortages, but tomatoes? Anyone else seen evidence of a tomato shortage?
