Has anyone ever been to a pizza restaurant and been told that they are out of Pizza crust? I have, and the restaurant manager said that it does happen every once in a while. Random demand and occasional delivery delays can cause inventory to be temporarily. With storms, and employees out sick, etc. . . a random store out of product is not unusual. Up here in MA, there are stores very low on TP and PT, but those are the big box stores, and the supermarkets have plenty, although a higher price.
Also, there is a seasonal migration, there are many more remote workers who might just take advantage of the environment, and spend the winter instead of renting, and then there are stores that manage the inventory day to day.
So there may not be just one "satisfying" answer, but there may be a combination of reasons, which results in a store being out whereas others are not.
The world is not linear and singular in events
