McDonald’s is facing a bag shortage due to pressures in the industry, the
Wall Street Journal reports. Over the past year, the majority of restaurants
across the country saw most of the business coming from take-out or
delivery orders, which required them to use more bags than usual.

About 81% of restaurant business was take out or delivery over the past 12
months, Yahoo Finance reports. During the prior year, it was just 18%.
In a statement obtained by Fox Business, a spokesperson for McDonald’s said
, "Despite temporary pressures in the industry, the impact to restaurants is
minimal. Based on what we know today, we are confident customers should
not see disruption to supply of bags or straws. We will continue to watch
closely."

According to the Wall Street Journal, some restaurants have reported issues
with workers who haven’t had to serve orders on trays before. New employees
hired during the past year would likely have served primarily to-go orders
and transitioning back to trays is reportedly more difficult than expected. |
